i'm really curios whether the CoS is somehow affiliated with the "Temple of the Vampires" or whether it's just a personal thing for some of the people who run this board.

thanks.

The Church of Satan is a completely separate organization from the TOV.

The Church of Satan is the fountainhead of Satanism and you are in the right place here for that purpose.

There are some COS members who are members of both organizations, like myself, and many others who are not. Only Satanists belong to the COS. The majority of TOV members are not Satanists.

I will add that the TOV has great respect for the Church of Satan and the practical aspects of both philosophies are identical in my personal opinion.

TOV members are asked to not discuss the Temple in public without special permission. If you have other questions you will need to take them there.
