⚙ F.A.Q. (Frequently Avoided Queries)

not-malware.zip is a website. You are on it right now. It is the public-facing portal of The Organization. We provide services related to The Archive, The Protocol, and The Convergence. If you need more specific information, we encourage you to read our About page, which contains the same level of specificity (none).

Yes. This website has been reviewed by the Division's Internal Safety Board and classified as "safe." The Safety Board has since been dissolved, but their classification remains on file. We would not host an unsafe website. That would be dishonest, and dishonesty is a Phase 4 behavior that we have long since abandoned.

You don't join The Organization. The Organization joins you. If you are reading this FAQ, the process may have already begun. Check behind your left ear. If you find a small mark that wasn't there before, that's probably unrelated. Probably.

The Archive is a comprehensive collection of all information that has ever existed, currently exists, or will exist. It is stored in a facility that occupies no physical space but requires 14 janitors. The Archive can be accessed by authorized personnel, which includes everyone and no one. Your clearance level is AMBER-7, which grants you access to the gift shop.

The Convergence is currently at 97.3%. When it reaches 100%, all digital information will become indistinguishable from physical matter. Or physical matter will become indistinguishable from digital information. The end result is the same. You will not notice the transition. You may have already not noticed it.

CORRECTION: The answer to this question should have been the answer to Question 8. Please disregard the above and also please remember it exactly.

To disable this feature, simply close your eyes and count backwards from a number you have never thought of before. If the speaking continues, it was never your computer.

⚠ This question was removed on February 30, 2025 by order of The Director. The question itself has been archived under designation CRIMSON-NULL. If you remember what this question was, please contact us immediately. If you do not remember, that is correct and expected behavior. ⚠

The answer was "yes, but only on Thursdays."

Birch trees in autumn carry messages if you read the patterns of the falling leaves counter-clockwise. Alternatively, our contact form is available, though the labels may not correspond to the input fields. This is not a bug. The form works exactly as intended. The intention is not yours to understand.

NOTE: This answer was meant for Question 5. The answers have shifted. Do not attempt to realign them.

The visitor counter is accurate. You are a different person every time you refresh the page. The version of you that loaded this page initially no longer exists. That version is in The Archive now. Say hello if you visit.

Also, the counter counts in base-13. We do not know why. The Intern built it and The Intern does not explain their work.

Keth'vuul mar syn. Phlogiston does not reverberate on Tuesdays per Amendment 7.3.1(b) of The Protocol. The resonance cascade was patched in build 847.2. If your local phlogiston is still reverberating, please ensure you have updated to the latest version of reality (v4.7.2 or later).

ERRATA: The word "phlogiston" in this answer should be read as "the sound a glacier makes when it realizes it is melting." We apologize for the confusion.
