In spite of this lack of an explicit focus on inceldom, many users of the PSL network of sites were incel (to some degree or other), and the memes, concepts, and beliefs commonly espoused on these forums substantially influenced the culture of several subsequent incel forums. | In spite of this lack of an explicit focus on inceldom, many users of the PSL network of sites were incel (to some degree or other), and the memes, concepts, and beliefs commonly espoused on these forums substantially influenced the culture of several subsequent incel forums. | ||

After PUAhate was shut down in response to the attack, most of the users of the "shitty advice" forum moved to a new website, "Sluthate." Sluthate users later migrated to a new website, "lookism.net", mainly in response to server downtime and the slowness of Sluthate. | ||

The users of the forums eventually developed their own supposedly "objective" rating system that follows rough normal distribution, which is known as a ''[[PSL rating|PSL rating]].'' | The latest iteration of PSL, Lookism.net, broke with PSL tradition by self-identifying as an incel forum around 2017 and becoming more sympathetic to pick-up artistry (ironically due to the installation of a mod that completely rejected the validity of male looks as being the key to attracting women).
