History
2020
Inception
Founded by the admins SergeantIncel and Master, Neets.me was made public on the 26th of November, 2020 (however records indicate the site was active beginning from late September of the same year).[1][2] NEETS.me launched with an 'Announcements' section, 'Feedback' section and its main discussion forum 'NEET Lifestyle'.[3] Its mod/admin structure largely carried over from Incels.co, comprising of Cerberus (aka SergeantIncel), Master, i_a_m_i, knajjd and Alexanderr.[4] The forum's initial userbase was formed after an announcement by Sergeant on Incels.co.[5] On November 28, the new Off Topic forum, 'The Cafe', was created upon feedback.[6][7] Prior threads unrelated to NEETdom from NEET Lifestyle were moved to The Cafe.[8] User 'Abi No' christens The Cafe with its first thread '1st Thread here', followed by dreadtheblackpill's '2nd thread here'.[9][10]
Year's end
Custom username colors were implemented at the beginning of the month, from a selection of Green, Cyan, Blue, Pink, Red, Orange and Yellow.[11] Christmas holiday theming is implemented upon feedback from Fabio.[12] Reactions to the theme were mixed, with the most salient comments comparing the snow to other bodily secretions.[13] On December 2024, moderator Alexanderr creates a thread asking users about their thoughts on the forum so far.[14] Respondents lamented the lack of user activity and poor site interface, however positively commented on the quality of users on the forum.
2021
Decline in Interest
By the beginning of the year, it was becoming clear that the wave of initial interest had died down. By this time, Alexanderr remained the only active moderator on the forum. The remaining users expressed their growing dissatisfaction at his heavy-handed moderation and the decline in forum activity.[15]
2022
