'''Incels.is''' (previously '''incels.co''' and '''incels.me''') is currently the largest incel forum in the [[incelosphere]]. It was created by [[SergeantIncel]] on Nov. 7th, 2017, hours after the banning of /r/incels. Its status as an independent website offers its community flexibility and allows free speech in a way that would likely be censored on other forums, due to their politically correct speech. The forum features prominent discussion of the [[blackpill]] philosophy.<br />
<br />
The user-generated forum content is publicly viewable through its [[clearnet]] URL, and discussion of illegal activities is against site rules.<ref>https://incels.co/threads/rules-terminology-and-faq.799/</ref><br />
<br />
'''On March 2021''' (around [https://neets.me/threads/what-happened-to-me-and-co.3487/ the 23rd]) the site returned to incels.is at the same time [[Looksmax.me]] changed to [[Looksmax.org]]. The reason was a suspension of the incelsoo and looksmax.me domains by their provider, although no reason whatsoever was given for this. <br />
<br />
The forum has an official Telegram channel to share news and notices.[https://t.me/incels] <br />
<br />
==Rules==<br />
The rules on the site have mostly remained the same over the years. A slight URL change occurred (aside from the .me to extension) between 2018 and 2020, where "terminology-and" was removed:<br />
<br />
*https://web.archive.org/web/20180525160632/https://incels.me/threads/rules-terminology-and-faq.799/<br />
*https://web.archive.org/web/20210206062825/https://incels.co/threads/rules-and-faq.799/<br />
<br />
==Style==<br />
The style of posting on incels.is resembles 4chan, as it is a third iteration of [[4chan|4chan's]] [[r9k]] board, with the banned /r/incels being the second iteration. Its style of posting is impersonal, fast, jokey, and at times sociopathic, again like 4chan. A year or so after it's founding however, the admin implemented a rule where low effort posts are disallowed. incels.co has been known for its [[incels.co megathread|incels.co megathreads]] and [[cold approach]] diaries. <br />
<br />
Although because of this process bans on incels.is are very hard to avoid, there is a ban appeal section for users who believe their [[incels.co warning level|warnings]] have been unfair or who want a second chance.<br />
<br />
Incels.is has strong rules against [[bragging]], and a solid registration process. Users must include the reason why they want to join, as well as not use VPN's or proxies in order to avoid letting in spammers and alternate accounts of already banned users. <br />
<br />
One unique thing about incels.is is that it does not allow women to join or for non-heterosexuals to talk about LGBTQ topics according to [[Master]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s24YgtS0ksA</ref> The rationale for this is that women would disrupt discussion in [[orbiter]] seeking behaviour, and people would encourage incels to transition from male to female. Believe it or not, [[Vintologi|there exist feminists who join incel forums just to groom heterosexual incels to transition]] to female and date males [[Chris-chan|so that]] [[QuantumCatX|they]] do not breed. Also, see [[R9k]] for more examples of such behaviour. This policy seems similar to a policy that the Japanese chan board: "[[Men Without Motivation]]" have.<br />
<br />
The forum uses one of the more narrow definitions of inceldom, defining involuntary as only "against will" rather than "against choice or against will".<br />

==Significant Events==<br />
===1st member to identify as female===<br />
On February 22nd, 2018, a user by the name of Chewbacca posted a ban request in the Inceldom discussion thread. In it, Chewbacca stated that she was female this whole time and got away with posting. Her picture, which was shown, fooled many people into thinking she was an ugly man. However, it is possible that a male user, in an attempt to gain attention or self-humor, has lied about being a female user pretending to be a male.<br />
<br />
===Nausea Cagethread===<br />
User [[Nausea]] used to post exclusively on a single thread in the Offtopic section of the site, due to his broken English and spam-like threads earning him many warnings otherwise. The thread was called affectionately by users "Nausea Cagethread".<br />

<br />
===Ban Appeals===<br />
The Ban Appeal section of the site is enjoyed by many users as a source of drama or curious encounters between recently banned users and moderators. The mod who issued the last warning which [[triggered]] a permanent ban is the one who has the call on whether to give a second chance to the user in question or not. There is a megathread in the Meta section where regular users can discuss the ban of others.<br />
<br />
===Cliques===<br />
Numerous cliques have formed on incels.is in the past including [[Ritalin Defense Force]].<br />
<br />
===LARPgate===<br />
On June 14th, 2018, user Heightframeface exposed another user, [[Whogivesafucc]], as a [[larper]]. User whogivesafucc stated he had "gay(once) and straight sex" at the age of 12-13, and had lost his virginity at 14. Many people became angry at this fact and started to complain and raise their suspicion on other Novembercels, as well as other incels. Later in the thread, another user, Blackletcel, was also exposed as a 5'10.5 light complexed, dyed blond hair Tyrone(or [[chad]] of African heritage) who was on a dry streak for 2 years. Before his dry streak, he recalls having a "foid on my[his] dick"(English: woman perform oral sex on him). He also stated he was a volcel because of his rejection of dark skinned african women.<br />
<br />
===Media Barrage of 2018===<br />
After the [[Alek Minassian]] van attack in Toronto, mainstream media went on a massive media campaign against [[incelosphere|incel forums]] consisting of thousands of articles and multiple TV show episodes, specifically against incels.co, despite the fact that [[Alek Minassian]] only referenced [[4chan]], and that to this day no mass shooters have ever participated on the incels.co forum.<br />
<br />
===Domain changes from incels.me to incels.is to incels.co and back to incels.is===<br />
On October 19th, 2018, a permanent change was made from the domain incels.me to incels.is. Afilias (which owns .me) dropped the domain due to abuse report raiding from [[inceltears]] and elsewhere. The admins stated they had done everything asked of them from Afilias and felt it was unjust they were dropped despite their compliance.<br />
<br />
In [https://web.archive.org/web/20190403052212/https://incels.co/threads/incels-co.114739/ March 2019], the domain was changed once again from incels.is to incels.co. The admins of incels.co cited improved SEO and better phonetics as the reason for the domain change. Gab also now uses the .co gTLD.<br />
<br />
On [https://incels.is/threads/temporary-new-domain-incels-is.285737/ 23 March 2021] a thread by [[Sergeant Incel]] explained relocation back from .is to .co :<br />
<br />
:As you have noticed, we're currently using the incels.is domain and not incels.co.<br />
<br />
If you visit looksmax, same thing: You have to use looksmax.co and not lookmax.me.<br />
<br />
:This is because our domain provider has suspended our account, and thus our domains.<br />
:We were dropped out of nowhere, and no reason was given as to why.<br />
:As you know, we have used the .co domain for years without any issues. This means they suspended us likely in an effort to distance themselves from incels, and not because we actually did anything wrong.<br />
:We'll keep you guys updated, but for now please bookmark incels.is, and tell people who might not know about the domain change.<br />
:You can also follow our twitter: https://twitter.com/incelsco<br />
:And we now have a Telegram channel: https://t.me/incels<br />
<br />
===Anniversary===<br />
On November 7th, 2020, the site became three years old. <br />
