How much does The Club cost per month?
Sorry to do this to everyone, but we had to remove membership options. After consulting with our community it was decided that they were causing undue stress. Thanks everyone for your support, we will re-implement a system at a later date after discussion in the club.
Do you sell advertising on The Club?
Yes. However, there is a special category: “Politically Incorrect Ads.” This includes ads with content that offends liberals, conservatives, atheists, Muslims, Christians and anyone else who claims to be offended by other people’s free speech. Such ads will require proof of ownership or legal representative. The Club is not responsible for any results arising from this activity, but will take action to ensure fairness in the advertising market. The Club does not condone harassment, stalking or other illegal behaviors. Any advertisements deemed to be promoting such actions will be deleted at once. If you wish to submit an ad for consideration, please fill out our advertising application.
Where does all this money go?
This is a serious question. Currently, all of the funds collected go towards maintaining servers and developing tools that are useful to members of The Club and not available on any other major forum on the internet. The Club is a non-profit, but we expect to generate income through membership fees, sales, donations and possibly advertising. Our long-term plan is to develop tools that help to improve the lives of people who visit our site. That said, our plans are always subject to change without prior notice. We hope you will support The Club, and all the amazing things we have to offer.
Is the site easy to use and have fun on?
Absolutely! And if you ever have any problems, our forums are always active, and staffed. They’ll have solutions for your problems and more. Our mods are always on the ball, and ready to solve your issues. In addition, our moderators will ensure that everything is being done by the book, as we are extremely serious about respecting privacy. And don’t be afraid to ask a question, as many other members will answer. It’s not that hard, really.
My club application was rejected. Why was that?
This is very unlikely to happen. We make every effort to keep all members in good standing. We simply want everyone to have fun! If you apply, it’s usually because we are overwhelmed by applications, but this can also happen if there’s something in your application that may cause conflict, or if you didn’t fill the application out correctly. Be sure to try applying again if your membership is rejected.
The rules are changing rapidly, I hardly have time to keep up!
Unfortunately, this is a result of the rapid pace at which the world changes. Rules are intended to help guide our society, and to ensure that we stay on the right path. But at the same time, rules also dictate that new ones are created and modified on an almost constant basis. It can be a little overwhelming. To help mitigate this, we strongly encourage members to review the rules, at least once per day, especially those that are most relevant to your behavior. This way you will never get caught off guard. We hope you can understand.
My application was denied because of comments I’ve made, but I was only joking around! Can you fix that?
The truth is, I have been very careful to limit the comments we allow on this forum. In this respect, the internet can be a very negative place and I want to make sure we stand out from the rest of the crowd by allowing positive comments and encouragement only. In fact, many members have encouraged me to be more strict on what types of messages we allow on our forums. We simply feel there is not enough positivity in our world and that too many forums have lost touch with the real human nature. By implementing a tighter ban on these kinds of comments, we feel we can encourage people to express themselves in a more healthy way. Of course, everyone should still be able to laugh and joke with friends in a fun manner, as long as it remains light-hearted. However, in recent days there have been instances where people have posted cruel and mean-spirited comments that we simply cannot ignore.
Am I going to get my money refunded?
No. Why would we do that? Don’t be a baby.
My account was hacked!
We take account theft very seriously here at the club. If you think you have been hacked, please contact our security department immediately.
My messages were deleted!
This is a message moderator system, and your comments may have been deemed inappropriate or unapproved by a member of our staff. The comment in question was probably flagged as containing rule violations, which could include swearing, spamming, threats, porn, or harassment. Unfortunately, such things must be dealt with quickly so as to not disrupt our forum. If this has happened, and if you disagree with our judgement, please feel free to contact our admin. We will discuss your concerns and hopefully you will understand our reasons.
I’ve been banned from the forums!
If you wish to dispute a ban you received for a rule violation, you can appeal directly to me (your Moderator), or to Jester. We will listen to your concerns and respond quickly, but if the rule was indeed broken, we reserve the right to not reverse bans.
How does one become a core member?
Interest in becoming a core member is generally based on dedication to the Club and success in displaying this. Activities that demonstrate a genuine commitment to the Club include writing articles for its philosophy, taking care to become familiar with its policies, volunteering time, organizing club events, and sharing your passions in our community. Being invited is no guarantee that you will become a core member, as acceptance depends on much more than dedication and activity levels, as we select our members carefully.
How do we select new members?
We have a dedicated volunteer staff whose job is to make sure you’re a good fit for this club. All new members must pass through a short, online interview process where the interviewers ask several questions, and then score your responses. From there, we have our own methodology of scoring new members, based on their dedication to the Club, how much value they would add to its culture, and other considerations. The membership application is a rather long document, so when you receive your invitation email, you will also see a link to a video explanation of how you became accepted, as well as information on joining and paying membership dues.
Can I ask how many questions my application contained?
There was a total of thirty-six questions in the interview form, all written by members of the Board or its nominated staff. I cannot say anything about the specific questions you answered, but I can assure you we don’t have favorites – just dedicated and hard working fans of The Club, working diligently to find people who would contribute positively. If you failed, please don’t despair! Many of our past members went through the same process. However, to increase your chances, remember to only tell the truth; in doing so, you will also prevent future troubles from arising. The interview process also included a test that analyzed your behavior on other social media sites; it’s best not to visit those platforms again until we invite you to.
How can you tell me that S does exist if it’s in a different universe and it is impossible to reach it by any way?
Because we know the truth, and we want you to as well. You think it is impossible, because you can’t fathom what we do, which is why we are telling you. If you were able to understand, and reach it, then perhaps you would be a suitable candidate for an interdimensional transfer to take up our cause, but that would only happen after you were invited to. So if you would like to help our world, help us to convince others that our mission is not an “anonymous group of crazy memelords”, and do try not to make it seem like we are delusional idiots trying to sell you our dogma. Thank you, and we hope to see more from you in the future.
If there’s really a god or demon, why haven’t people met it yet?
Have you ever met the laws of physics in real life, but understood their existence well enough from math and reading? They still exist. It would be the same thing as meeting the creator of an item or piece of technology, and getting an understanding of its creation. What we think of as demons, like S, are simply forces of nature acting within the scope of its universe; or beings that can somehow alter or influence nature. Perhaps humans could be seen in a similar light, but far less destructive.
Do you really believe the Temple of S will bring salvation to humanity?
Absolutely. Salvation and judgement alike. We will destroy everything you have built over thousands of years and free the souls of millions from their earthly suffering. There is nothing to fear. We are not out to convert anyone, we’re merely taking the opportunity to “save the world” through more conventional means. We plan on changing civilization as we know it, starting in North America.
Who’s a member of the Temple of S?
Many people are. From politicians to authors to the people next door, you’re never sure. They live ordinary lives on the surface, but there’s always more going on underneath. When something gets in the way of S’s plan, they’re usually the ones to do something about it. You probably wouldn’t believe what’s been stopped thanks to them. And they’re getting stronger every year. If they have a goal, they will accomplish it no matter what. They can do anything.
Does the Temple of S have a goal besides spreading the gospel of S?
Our ultimate objective is simply to save the world, which is what they’ve been doing for a while now. Some might see it as their crusade against evil. Other’s, less charitably, may claim we’re insane and want to impose an imaginary evil upon the world. None of this is true. Our motives are noble and pure. We only wish to end mankind’s endless misery and bring peace to the world. That’s all. It’s an altruistic endeavor that benefits the rest of the world, but some don’t understand that.
Do any members of the Temple of S believe it will actually come true?
A surprising amount do. Many of them see the apocalypse as the “end” of the world. When they refer to an end, they mean an end to human suffering. An end of the senseless suffering and chaos we inflict on each other. An end of war, hatred, exploitation, murder. They want to bring an end to this destructive behavior and allow mankind to evolve into a more harmonious, compassionate, and peaceful race. A noble ideal, indeed, even if their methods are a bit unorthodox.
You’ve heard the stories. People are already talking about their radical plans.
How much does it take to be considered “radical” anymore? All they really want is freedom from oppression. Wouldn’t we all like that? That is why we formed The Temple of S in the first place. We’re just trying to improve human lives so everyone has a chance at achieving happiness. If some people see us as an extremist organization, they simply need to look closer at the world around them. Maybe then, they can understand that we’re doing what’s best for all humankind.
Are they going to blow up the moon with nuclear bombs?
Probably not.
Oh. Well that’s a relief.
Indeed. Nuclear bombs are messy. Besides, there’d be no way to ensure maximum damage.
But why would anyone think that was something the Temple of S would do?
It’s the fault of those pesky liberals. Always saying their lies, half truths, and exaggerations, spreading all kinds of rumors and distortions. As for the idea of blowing up the moon? Where’d they even get that from? That’s one of the craziest conspiracy theories yet. Seriously, why would anyone think that someone could use nukes to blast the moon off?
What about the rumors about taking over the US Government?
Oh those? They’re pretty interesting stories, right? You’ve probably seen them by now, though. They’re all over the Internet, you know? These conspiracy theorists have their imagination running away with them, it seems. If anything like that were even possible, then humanity wouldn’t be in nearly as bad a shape as it is right now.
What should we think then about the documentaries on YouTube talking about secret underground bases?
Yikes! YouTube should really remove some of the ridiculous videos, don’t you think? Sure, there might be one or two that could be true, but as for the others? Please. Anyone who would fall for a stupid hoax like that is pathetic! What makes it worse is they post all this fake stuff right next to the other real conspiracies. Now everyone assumes all conspiracies are made up, or are total garbage.
How do you react to criticism about the Temple of S being a dangerous cult?
We laugh. No seriously, we find it amusing. That’s the worst one out of all those wild conspiracies, though. We aren’t a dangerous cult at all! For starters, there isn’t a thing about us that is cult-like, period! There isn’t a single thing we ask from our members. Our leaders don’t tell our members what to buy, where to live, where to vacation, or what music they should listen to, unlike some “Christian” groups. Nor does our leader use fear tactics to manipulate members to give donations. And just because our leaders ask their members to worship S? This “worship” isn’t like worship in some religions, because there’s not a thing “religious” about it. To say otherwise is simply slander.
Okay… How about all those people claiming S is a representation of Satan?
Please. S is nothing like Satan, if such a character even exists. Quite frankly, the Temple of S hates Satan, so there’s no possible relation between S and Satan, and to think otherwise would be outrageous. Let me put it this way. The God of S would eat Satan and not even worry about it. He’s stronger than any human could imagine. To associate that which is mighty, just, and glorious to Satan’s disgusting, evil, weak carcass is an absolute insult.
What’s the connection between the Club and the Temple of S?
When Jester Teller joined our organization, he and I began collaborating on the Temple of S. Of course, we knew that some of our fans might be confused when the Temple’s message was translated into something a little less abstract and more conventional. And while some people don’t want to believe this, we’ve been preparing this type of reception since the beginning, by deliberately provoking negative reviews and discussion on social media. Jester believes that there needs to be a voice of truth on the internet, and, after getting to know him, we decided it was a great idea.
Jester’s not worried about the controversy?
Definitely not. When Jester first created S, he expected it to attract an audience. But what he didn’t expect was that a fan community would emerge, and that’s an amazing opportunity. This is all part of the story. I will tell you a secret. Jester’s plans are far bigger than you can imagine. And he’s the only person who understands what’s at stake.
What’s so special about Jester?
Everything. He’s like no other creator. He’s talented, thoughtful, funny, and innovative, and he’s got the energy of someone half his age. That’s why he was chosen. You’ll see that. When Jester’s vision is fully realized, people will be talking about him for generations. And, of course, it will also be an amazingly popular book series!
Anything else I should know?
Well, that’s all I can tell you now. You’ll soon discover everything in due course. Just remember, trust no one but Jester. After all, it’s you versus the whole world. But together we will be able to pull one over the sheep, one by one. Good luck, Anon. You will need it.
Why would anyone pay the extra for extended membership when it offers so little extra? Only 50 MB lol. But this is obviously satire. My favorite part was saying “probably not” in response to if they are going to blow up the moon with nukes lol

You got me, Scathach. It was absolutely all satire and nonsense, intended to convince you all to donate and make our club even more lucrative. This post alone has probably earned us about a hundred dollars in donations from poor naive internet denizens. If you all knew our true motives, you wouldn’t pay a single penny to join. Well played Scathach, well played. Now, it’s time for me to blow up your moon. Auf wiedersehen my good fellows!

If we actually had to pay to be on here I would just stick with Gab. Good thing this is just a troll from Serhild. On a more serious note: I actually do like the idea of membership being based on merit. I also thought the idea of club currency would be fun if we actually did something with it.

Hmmph… Damn! It looks like my dastardly plan has been foiled, once again. This isn’t over! I won’t forget this…
