You are applying to join a club of which you know nothing about and trust we will make appropriate use of the information provided by you

You may apply once per email address

We will use the details you provide for the purpose of reviewing your application, providing the 11K Service for those who are chosen to join the club and nothing more

We may also occassionally send progress updates to the email address you have provided

You may cancel your application by sending an email to support@11kclub.com. We will remove your details from our database upon cancellation

We may reject your application if you do not provide a proper reason for wanting to join the club. Upon rejection, you are free to re-apply

The more people you refer to the 11K Club using your personalised invite link - which is provided once you have submitted an application - the higher your chances of becoming a member

Someone should write a bot to take all the remaining spots.

It's not the first 11,000 - it seems they could have 100,000 apply but they select which 11,000 go in to the club. So you may be wasting your time writing a bot..

"You may apply once per email address"

1. Write script to register for email addresses

2. Hook up to application for 11k

3. ???

4. Profit?

Seriously though, I'm guessing this is either a cheap way to farm some emails or the benefit will include some MLM crap.

Domain purchased 7/30/2012. This is 2 days old. This does not sound like a well-thought-out Big Idea.

Yeah well I'm starting the 12kclub.com. We don't even have a site. Respond to this comment and I'll consider letting you know when we have a site to sign up on.

Please let me know when you have a site for the 12k club, as I intend to join. The 11k club is simply too elite.

Mike you forgot to make a fake name for HN. If you go to http://www.younoodle.com/startups/favilous which belongs to Mr. Doyle and leads to http://www.favilous.com/ which is copyright A Shade of Green 2009. The same copyright as 11kclub. Still wanna say you don't know what it is?

Well, what is it? How did you find it?

No idea. It's being shared amongst my group of friends on facebook. Sounds intriguing, at least to me. (I've applied).

Because he created it.
