someone on reddit made some secret subreddits for certain acievements:
- controversial club - one of the most controvertial posts on reddit within an hour
- popular club - top 25 posts on reddit of the day
- eternity club - popular club clone
- ternion club - popular club but you also got ternion
etc…
why they exist? who knows, but i guess they are no longer secrets
There’s also Century Club (more than 100k karma) and the 10 Year Club (account older than 10 years).
Huh, that’s odd. My account was 13 years old and I didn’t get a super secret society invite!
I was surprised when I got one; it just appeared in my inbox one day. When my account turned 11 I decided to see if /r/11yearclub existed and it did, but I had to message the mods and join manually.
I had to request to join Century Club manually too; I didn’t even notice I could do it until I had 200k karma…
I joined the Century Club and it was just kind of boring. I rarely ever saw a thread I felt compelled to comment on. I suspect it’s because there really wasn’t much of a common interest behind it. Didn’t know about the 10-year club but I suspect it would be similar, perhaps with more of a “aren’t kids these days awful” vibe.
Century Club had good vibes. It was generally like the same 5 users posting, though. I’d comment occasionally but I didn’t follow it closely.
Yeah, it wasn’t a bad place. I’m sure a lot of people would expect it to be full of threads about how century club members were better than the low-karma plebs or discussing tips on how to farm more karma or something, and it was nothing like that. I mainly recall it being a place where people would share tragedies in their lives and commiserate on them, knowing that they had a relatively “private” place to be discussing that sort of thing with people they considered “peers.” I just didn’t find it to be compelling discussion most of the time.
