In 2003, [[love-shy.com]] started as an anonymous board before it switched to non-anoymous a couple years later. The Japanese inspired image-board [[4chan]] also started this year as an anonymous community. In 2004, Alana's former community and project moved to a new forum called [[Incelsite]], and in 2006 this forum was rebranded to [[IncelSupport]].

In 2008, 4chan's [[r9k]] board appeared, the first [[4chan]] board that arguably became an unofficial incel forum. Since 2008, [[r9k]] defined most of what media as of 2018 refers to as "incel subculture". Also, in 2008, the first clip of the unreleased US incel documentary [[The Incel Project]] was uploaded to blip.tv. The developing documentary seemed to have stalled sometime between 2012-2014, with only a couple clips floating around. Around 2008, the anti-feminist [[True Forced Loneliness]] 'movement' started, a space adjacent to incel boards consisting of three (later 16+) vloggers and a website complaining about dating from a societal perspective. In 2009, [[love-shy.com]] came under the adminship of an extremely anti-feminist admin for a couple years. This is the same year that the [[PSL]] boards started, a sequential group of raucous forums that happened to contain a lot of involuntary celibates. | |||

In 2011, the subreddit [[foreveralone|r/foreveralone]] and would go on to become one of the most gender-inclusive spaces of the incelosphere. In 2013, [[IncelSupport]] crashed, and all forum posts were lost in the process. In 2014, [[Robin Sprenger]] publishes academic literature on inceldom called, "Male Absolute Beginner: A Communication Science Approach to Explaining Partnerlessness", which is self-explanatory. It was published by Springer VS. | |||

In 2014 a reiteration of [[IncelSupport]] was attempted, but was quickly abandoned due to lack of interest. [[Wizchan]] began in 2014. Also in 2014, the [[PSL]] boards now all contained 'rate me' subforums, thus further ingraining [[blackpill]]ed concepts such as [[lookism]] in the incelosphere. During 2014-2015, the incel presence on Reddit began, mostly through [[Caamib]] from [[love-shy.com]], starting with the extremely [[anti-feminist]] subreddits: r/truecels and r/incels. The emergence of [[anti-incel]] forums like [[inceltears]] and [[leftbook]] tag groups began the start of the [[Battle of Incelistan]]. In 2017 the Facebook group [[Incelistan]] began but not as a response to the similarly titled [[Battle of Incelistan]], but more as a response to [[anti-incel]] [[leftbook]] tag groups. Almost all the members of [[Incelistan]] came from the Facebook group [[Ancapistan]] and not any subreddit or established incel forum. In November 2017 r/incels and r/truecels were banned, with some in those subreddits moving to the new sites incel.life and [[incels.me]]. Incel.life was shut down in 2018, due to efforts by [[Babe Magazine]]. In early 2018, Alana decided to rebrand her failed and abandoned research project to, "Love not Anger", after accepting feminist criques of the word, "incel", being an inherently sexist word. In late 2018, some more incel sites were created from incels.me users, but we'll see if they last long enough to be worth putting in here. Although the trueforcedloneliness.com website is no longer operational, there are still sporadic blogs and vlogs wherein creators self-identify as [[TFL|TFLers]]. | In 2014 a reiteration of [[IncelSupport]] was attempted, but was quickly abandoned due to lack of interest.
