. . . but please do stick to the stated purpose of this forum. I certainly would never delete a message such as yours that asks about a policy on this forum, but I will not hesitate to delete a message that is a request for information about where to find nude pictures. Here is why:
1) In many parts of the world, possession of pictures of nude minors is illegal. You or I may disagree with these laws, but this forum will not be used to help people get themselves into legal trouble.
2) Quite simply, I do not know of any places accessible by HTTP browsers that have nude pictures of minors. Four or five years ago, I could have given you a list of links the length of your arm, but the climate on the internet makes it hard to keep up a nude picture site. In short, few servers will let anyone run a publicly-accessible site that contains nude minors.
3) If you want nudes, get a newsfeed account. No, I do not know of any free news servers that have the pictures you want, and if I did I would not post the information here. Again, that is not the purpose of this forum.
4) Parsimony, the host of this forum, could very well close down this forum if they got legitimate complaints from anti-BL activists who may be monitoring this discussion. If Parsimony got a complaint, investigated, and found discussion of nude pictures, evidence of picture trading, or other signs of illegal activity, they would be within their rights to close this site down. I don't want to take this chance. Seeing boys in movies (clothed or otherwise) is a cheap and accessible thrill for those of us who can't (legally) sit around looking at naked boys, in pictures or otherwise. To preserve that opportunity for us, I'd prefer that this forum be a bit more classy than your average "SHOW ME THE NAKED BOYS" kind of site. But I hope it is fun nonetheless.
Thanks for asking the question, and I do hope you will stick around and participate in the conversation. If you really get desperate to see a smooth, nude, hairless torso, I'll lend you a razor and a mirror. :o)
