'''1997-2003 - First Incel Forum and Entry Into Academia'''
'''1997-2003 - First Incel Forum and Entry Into Academia'''


Although the term "incel" did exist in the late-90s, the most common term in the incelosphere used to refer to involuntarily celibate people in the 90s was, "socially anxious men", on the [[alt.support.shyness]] Usenet Group and "AFC" meaning "average frustrated chump" on the [[alt.seduction.fast]] (ASF) Usenet newsgroup. [[Alana's Involuntary Celibacy Project]] coined the word [["incel"]] in 1997 and started as an academic research project on incels.  This project got a study published called the [[Donnolly Study]] by sociologist [[Denise Donnelly]].  This study and it's subsequent citations was the entry for the term "involuntarily celibate" as a valid sociological term.  A mailing list (forum) was created on the Project's site in 1997, the first official incel forum.  In 1998, members of [[alt.support.shyness]] were invited, helping to populate the mailing list.  Alana's mailing list was a [[feminist]] forum, and Alana had created the first incel forum as a lesbian with dating experience.  Alana stopped maintaining the forum around 2003.  A year later, in 1998, the first online German incel community, [[Absolute Beginners]], is established.<ref>https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=en&rurl=translate.google.co.uk&sl=de&sp=nmt4&tl=en&u=https://wiki.abtreff.de/archive/index.php%253Ftitle%3DHistorie.html&xid=17259,15700022,15700124,15700149,15700186,15700190,15700201,15700214&usg=ALkJrhhzVfHdI_o1SzzjjtagKVbEFA_C7w</ref>
