'''Incels.is''' (previously '''incels.co,''' and before that '''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.

The user-generated forum content is publicly viewable through its [[clearnet]] URL, and discussion of illegal activities is against site rules.<ref>https://incels.is/threads/rules-terminology-and-faq.799/</ref>

Incels.is has strong rules against [[bragging]], as well as a distinct 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.

One unique thing about the forum 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 behavior, 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 behavior. This policy seems similar to a policy that the Japanese chan board: "[[Men Without Motivation]]" have.

The forum uses one of the more narrow definitions of inceldom, defining involuntary as only "against will" rather than "against choice or against will".

===Media Barrage of 2018===
===Media Barrage of 2018===
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.

===Domain changes from incels.me to incels.is to incels.co and back to incels.is===
===Domain changes from .me -> .is -> .co -> .is===
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.

In [https://web.archive.org/web/20190403052212/https://incels.is/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.

On [https://incels.is/threads/temporary-new-domain-incels-is.285737/ 23 March 2021] the site went back to using .is permanently.
 
On [https://incels.is/threads/temporary-new-domain-incels-is.285737/ 23 March 2021] a thread by [[SergeantIncel]] explained relocation back from .is to .co :
{{Quote|As you have noticed, we're currently using the incels.is domain and not incels.co.
 
If you visit looksmax, same thing: You have to use looksmax.co and not lookmax.me.
 
This is because our domain provider has suspended our account, and thus our domains.
We were dropped out of nowhere, and no reason was given as to why.
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 the forum actually had anything wrong.
We'll keep you guys updated, but for now please bookmark incels.is, and tell people who might not know about the domain change.
You can also follow our twitter: https://twitter.com/incelsco
And we now have a Telegram channel: https://t.me/incels}}
