The Gossip Forum
One can see the timestamps from the posts in the linked source that shows those discussions happening in 2014. In 2015, a new development occurred where GLP had a spin-off "sister site" called givemegossip which seemed to be some kind of smaller, feminine version of GLP. GLP which had been known to ban users suddenly and in mass without any seeming reason had at this time started to redirect banned users to GMG. The forum was much smaller than GLP and run by a separate administrator. There were some curiosities about this site, one is that they continued to host nobody threads even after the apparent closures, and second is that they also hosted some pro-Trump threads and posts. Strange as it may sound, and in 2015, bear with me, there is evidence of this. The site itself closed around Christmas of 2015 in sudden and confusion fashion that various mixed explanations for which followed, some being controversial. Though the site was gone, some remnants remained in the web archives, and I had saved some material myself before the site closed. I will be reposting some of this material, including posts from LOP and GLP that mentioned and speculated on the site closure. To start, here is a screenshot of the ctcantina's page of threads where one can see one made on GMG, thereby making it apparent that the site was known to CTC as well and discussed there.
