I keep thinking it'd be really cool to join a cult, it seems like a great way to make friends and I'd love to have more people to chat with on Subeta. But then I go and check out the cults, see an application with about 100 questions on and the threat of being removed if I'm not active, and I run away. I also really enjoy making HA's and working on my pets, but the pet/fashion cults all require a really high standard of work. And for me, it's so intimidating.

I dunno, maybe I'm not cut out for a cult if I'm too lazy to actually apply, but my idea of a good cult is something much more relaxed and easy going. Do any of these type of cults exist?

What about you guys - what are your opinions on cults, or moreover the lengthy application process and activity requirements needed?

I'm not a cult person. Gave it a serious try and joined one of the above mentioned "appplication required cults" but in the end I never felt comfortable enough to try to make friends there or whatever so, some time ago, I left and tbh haven't looked back since. At least now I know for sure that I don't fit in enough to become part of a large group on Subeta, I'm much better at posting senseless monologues on the forums and at chatting with my (few but awesome) buddies on here.

If you decide to join a cult I wish you a great time, !

I feel like that sometimes, but I think maybe it's more a matter of it being a little difficult to fit into a pre-existing friendship group than not fitting in at all. Do you think? Thank you! I've toyed with the idea of creating my own, completely open and 100% relaxed cult, but I'm not sure it'd be a success. >.<

Cults are .. weird if you don't know anyone in it.I used to be in one but I left,I still do talk to a couple of members though.

oh and.I HATE LONG APPLICATION AND I HATE "describe yourself/talk about you" NO :c

Oh yes, the friendship part is a factor as well that's for sure! I mean, it's just natural and great for those who are part of the group but for those that join later it can be hard then especially when you aren't good at small talk to begin with...

Creating an own cult sounds like both a cool and a scary idea...and you have to be lucky I guess to succeed with it. Maybe the cult revamp would make it easier but who knows when it comes, I remember Keith saying that it's not a priority at the moment.

Haha yeah, I have no idea how to answer a "describe yourself" question. I try to think of an answer but I think I just end up sounding dumb. >.<

I'm kinda excited to know what a cult revamp would actually consist of. It'd be cool if people didn't have to use off-site forums.

[edit] Omg. I'm actually part of a cult. This whole time, I forgot about my friends sticker cult. I'm a terrible person. This is why I shouldn't be in a cult. :c

Mine is usually "yo sup I'm awkward and silly and I do/say weird things on a daily basis but I'm awesome in many way so hello" xD

Haha, that's better than mine. I literally cannot get past stating my name age and where I live. xD I swear I'm interesting - I swearrr.

And then you get the: Unh unh of course you are.

Haha, I couldn't agree with this thread more! Plus I'm kinda shy anyway. The strict applications and the fact that cults are often 'closed' (or even just say open - is that forever? no?) just feels mean. Although if there's a cult for hoarders I'd be willing to give it a try! ^_^ Well, maybe. I'd probably just stare and close the tab after a while.

I was actually just browsing cults earlier! In fact I looked at some of the 'application' ones in the cult menu and some had like 40 members only ('only'? I don't know, I guess it depends on whether you want big or small). I'm just surprised there aren't more laid back ones.

I feel the same way. I feel like everyone who is in a cult already has a pre-established friendship with everyone else in that cult and I'd just be intruding on them if I attempted to join. p:

And I just looked through a couple of pages of cults and none of them really seem like they fit me anyway. I could maybe join a roleplaying one, but I'm not like a hardcore roleplayer, so I don't think I'd fit. And I don't feel like I watch enough anime to join the anime cults... I just don't fit anywhere. haha o.o

I've never been very interested in cults. The ones that looked interesting were either inactive or, like you said, had applications that made me think I was trying to adopt a kid.

Ooh, same. Cults never appealed to me cause it seems like a lot of hard work...keeping up with everything, chatting with people, and tbh, I lack decent social skills. It took me two days to reply to a message from a friend whom I've been chatting with for days now. :/ I suck at socializing and the mere thought of having to join something that demands my activity and social/chatting skills of any capacity makes me anxious. shudder I hadn't looked into cults but it makes my head spin thinking about answering 100+ questions just to get it. Ick. [edit] There needs to be like a Cult for the Cultless with less responsibility/rules about getting in. Like, come-and-go-as-you-please type thing. Though I guess that might be more of a random group of people who occasionally chat than a cult...

I'm a member of the Daily Item cult. I'm not a social animal, so I don't spend a lot of time chatting with other members, but its an open and friendly group. The basis of the group is to take a wardrobe item which is cheap (less than 10,000 sPs) then the members make an HA based around that item. Its not a contest - we don't vote or judge, you just get a point for participating. There are a wide variety of skill levels and even people with small wardrobes can participate. You don't have to post everyday, only participate when you feel like it. Its a great cult if you enjoy playing with your HA but feel intimidated by the more "stylish" cults out there.

There's no "application" process, you just join up.

Example: Today's item is the and it made me think of Colonel Sanders, so that's what I tried for :).

I've never actually joined a cult but I used to be really interested in them but then I realized that I wouldn't know anyone and it'd be really awkward for me. I've been in this situation with IRC chats where everyone knows each other and I'm the odd one out. I felt like I was 'butting in' on their conversations and they didn't want me there. :/

I've always wanted to join an HA cult. I wish there was one where anyone could join(instead of a lengthy application + a 'standard' to be met with the quality of your attire) and you just talk about items you like and random topics I suppose and then when people make an outfit, they post it and maybe ask for others to share their opinion on the outfit. There's a forum for this-- I think but that's scary.

Unfortunately, all the HA cults I've seen require you to actually make the outfits in your wardrobe on Subeta which calls for a lot of money and I'm hella poor. Arvee is where it's at!! I don't understand why they don't allow it. ): I would also maybe join a Game of Thrones cult because I like talking about my favorite characters. But I'm not really ruffled over it. I'm doing good so far without.

Argg. Yesyesyes. I would love to see a HA cult without insane requirements. I really enjoy styling my HA, but unfortunately I don't think my style is quite in-line with what's considered popular, so I doubt I'd make it into any of the current ones. </3

It sucks that people who like designing HA's can't get into any of the current cults based on the opinions of what others think is stylish. There should definitely be an open HA cult.

[edit] Screw it. I might just make one. If it fails it fails. I can live with that. o:

I am the worst when it comes to fitting in. I've tried guilds on other pet sites and I always found myself staying silent the whole time because I was afraid of rejection. When it came to Subeta, I wasn't sure I wanted to jump through hoops on application processes from people I don't even know just to get in a Cult. I then tried and hated it as no one made an effort to know me while I was reaching out, trying to know them. I think that's a flaw some cults have -- they should also tell you what they are all about as people so you can get an idea if you would like befriending them and not only share interest/activities/contests for the sake of being in a Cult.

I joined a Cult out of the blue because it was open, and I haven't looked back. I already said I have a hard time fitting in anywhere.. but everyone there was extremely kind, welcoming and interested in not only the same things I was on Subeta but wanting to know me as a person. You can't make lifelong friends in this short period of time but I made an effort to post and stay active (contributing with ideas and my skills to improve the cult) and the response I got was unbelievably awesome. I am not advertising my cult, I'm just saying that you have to try a little as well. I am obviously not calling you out, being rude or anything (please forgive me if I sound like it!) but I haven't seen you post there once! I bet everyone on SAH would love to get to know you ^_^ I haven't seen one "Hi! I'm ___" post be ignored and people on the board love chatting about anything. The cult has just started but tries to be interactive. Your complaints about cults in general are 100% valid... but SAH is as relaxed and easy-going as you described, so I urge you to give it at least a shot before completely forgetting you joined hahaha

Cults, clans and I don't get along at all. I own my own cult but it's inactive because I really can't do anything with it until the cult system is revamped (whenever that is this century.)

The application ones are just nuts.
