'''Alana's Involuntary Celibacy Project''' (AICP) was founded in either 1993 or 1997 and as such was the second-oldest incel website after [[Alt.support.shyness]]. It was the first incel website to abbreviate the term "involuntary celibacy" whose usage reaches back at least to the [[Antoine Banier|18th century]]. It, along with [[Parsimonyforum 3708]], and the usenet groups [[Alt.support.shyness]] and [[Alt.seduction.fast]] formed the initial and primary websites of the [[incelosphere]] in the 1990s. In the 2000's, AICP became the [[IncelSupport]] and [[You're Not Alone]] forum. | '''Alana's Involuntary Celibacy Project''' (AICP) was founded in either 1993{{fact}} or 1997 and as such was the second-oldest incel website after [[Alt.support.shyness]].

[[Alana]] created the the site<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19970525065352/http://www.ncf.carleton.ca/~ad097/ic-home.html 23 May 1997 archive]</ref> as a research project at her college for involuntary celibates at least before 1997, shortening the [[involuntary celibacy]] term coined by [[Antoine Banier]] (originally calling it "invcel"), but never seemed to assist any published research from the early 90s to now except maybe for the [[Donnelly Study]]. Sometime before May of 1997 she described herself publicly on her website as a 'lesbian' with [[dating]] experience who had been reading a lot of feminist writings.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20030206192844/http://www.ncf.carleton.ca:80/~ad097/invcel.html</ref> Alana started the first [[incel]] 'forum' as a mailing list (forum) later on in 1997. So Alana started the mailing list (the forum) as a lesbian, contrary to some accounts suggesting she stopped considering herself as straight or started [[dating]] *after* the forum was created. In 1997, her site won an award from an LGBT organization. In 1998, users from [[Alt.support.shyness]] were invited to participate in Alana's mailing list. Alana stopped maintaining the site in 2003 and the community was handed off to someone else who created [[IncelSite.com]] after it started becoming too negative in tone for Alana. | [[Alana]] created the the site<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19970525065352/http://www.ncf.carleton.ca/~ad097/ic-home.html 23 May 1997 archive]</ref> as a research project at her college for involuntary celibates at least before 1997, shortening the [[involuntary celibacy]] term coined by [[Antoine Banier]] (originally calling it "invcel"), but never seemed to assist any published research from the early 90s to now except maybe for the [[Donnelly Study]].
