Paying for tribe

[Wild Child]

How dumb? It never works right so who would pay for that?
but nobody is ever here.

Probably looking for alternatives!

Things look bad:

In the summer of 2008, Tribe experienced frequent down time and technical difficulties making it inaccessible to their users, sometimes for periods as long as 24 hours. Tribe promises a full redesign of their site which will alleviate these problems, scheduled to launch in August or September of 2008. As of September 5, 2008, www.tribe.net no longer exists.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribe.net]

I just did a "ping", but the domain could not be resolved, that is, it is no longer listed, so apparently it does not exist anymore. I mean it's gone, the whole domain.

This place is confusing, my new 'ning-tribes' don't show up in my 'social networks'. Will get used to this though, who knows, one day.

traceroute: unknown host www.tribe.net

Ping se ha iniciado...
ping: cannot resolve www.tribe.net: Unknown host

this however says that the domain --for now at least-- is non-existent...

I don't even get to see such a message...

Interesting though is that the wiki page is turning into a messsage board that's being updated with the latest news: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribe.net
Wiki as a source of news... go figure!

I am so glad I never paid for Tribe. I was thinking about it when that option was first introduced, but honestly, Tribe is down more than its available...and now...it's just GONE! It's kinda creepy seeing an entire network disappear. I wonder if this is it or Tribe will eventually be back up. 4 days of nothingness and counting!
