	Various organizations such as the largely dormant [[NAMBLA]] have existed or still do, as explained in the activism section of our article on the [[MAP Movement]]. [[B4U-ACT]] sometimes holds conferences for MAPs and Mental ~~Heath~~ Professionals to meet and discuss topics. "Workgroups" for peer-support have been particularly successful in Northern Europe, with many such examples having existed in the Netherlands and Germany. [[Frans Gieles]] of [[Ipce]] has a personal history of having assisted with these groups, and an excellent knowledge of their history.

	Blogging used to be a considerable part of the minor attracted community, but a [[Blogger censorship\|purge took place in the summer of 2007]] after blogging on free platforms was widely adopted. A few individuals then banded together to form larger groups (such as ours), buying their own bandwidth and starting afresh. Others retreated to Bulletin boards.
