GhettobuildingForums

GhettobuildingForums was a forum on the Internet that started in 1995. The website was shut down on October 6, 2001 and never returned. Many people have speculated that CIA operatives closed the forum based on discussions about "conspiracy theories" to mind control mainly US citizens. What the exact thread covered remains unknown.

Popular culture (Internet)
Similar to the original website, GhettobuildingForums2.0 allegedly existed from January 2006 to April the same year. No archives of the site exist, and presumably never existed. The theory is considered debunked by many.

The hashtag "#BringBackGhettobuilding" trended on Twitter sometime in December 2008. It’s unclear if it was related to the website.

Youtube user "CantraBoy7" posted a video talking about the "deceased" forum on February 2, 2009. The video was later removed. According to archives, it had nearly 10,000 views a month following its upload.

The logo initially used for GhettobuildingForums was deleted from google image search results in 2011. A former admin on the website issued a statement demanding that Google reinstate the results. Images related to the forum [returned] in 2013.

Numerous theories concerning the forums takedown has garnered attention, the most recent being in 2015.
