thread_title:  Citations 

message: i revised and reposted the previous material minus a lot of the editorial perspective because i felt that some mention of the UI controversy was warranted. here is what i changed the above text to:
On January 19th, 2006 Tribe.net changed its layout and User Interface (UI). The management of Tribe claimed that they received approximately 40% positive feedback during a small beta phase with 3000 users (a relatively small percentage of their user base).
User reaction to the new UI, coupled with the lingering discontent from previous month's prohibition of explicit conduct, has led to rampant controversy amongst many of the site's long-time users. A large and outspoken group of current members of Tribe have repeatedly expressed that the new design, layout, and overall feel of the new website go against many of their original reasons for joining the site. Tribe's original "grassroots" approach to member-based forum monitoring and the focus of many tribe.net participants on alternative lifestyles and the arts was appealing to those who found other sites like MySpace or Friendster to be rather broad based and commercial.
Tribe.net has repeatedly stated that they have no intention of reverting to the previous look or interface of the site.

Can one of you people smarter than me please build a button than takes me to random Tribe.net threads and somehow include that to the body of Wikipedia's Tribe.net article? Thanks.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.25.16.231 (talk) 23:51, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

message: I finally had to start updating the Instability date. I'm not going to "fight" anyone who wants to change it back. OTOH, maybe you can try to show that there is no persistent instability issue before back-dating (please?). From my own position, all I'll have to do is maybe start taking screen shots of the nothingness that comes up half the time I try to find anything where Tribe.net used to be. - Joshua Clement Broyles  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.245.236.31 (talk) 13:13, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Downtime issues

message: "an error has occurred
what were you doing when this error occurred?
If you're seeing this page, it means that something has gone wrong on our end.
Sorry about that. Please take a moment to help us fix this problem by giving us a brief description of what you were doing when this error occurred."
Of course, you can't actually submit an error report, since that, itself, also generates an error and a request for an error report.
F'n brilliant really. No wonder I'm not seeing any new sponsors.

i know talk is not a general discussion, my reason for posting is there are so few citations in many of the statements and the article needs a cleanup..

replies: text: On October 31, 2015, Tribe announced that they were going down to move to new servers.. As of 9 November, they're still down. I suggest that when they hit 30 days, we change this article to the past tense, but hold off until then. John Nagle (talk) 20:45, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I see that the article no longer even mentions instability. This is intellectually irresponsible, given that instability continues to be Tribe's core defining feature, even after all the supposed fixes a few months ago. Is whoever made the more recent edits worried that sponsors will be more scared off by mention of instability in a Wikipedia article than by trying to visit Tribe.net itself and finding nothing? Focusing on the Wikipedia article instead of focusing on Tribe's site stability would reflect the same system of priorities elsewhere demonstrated by Tribe's management. So, yes, I very much do believe they are editing this article contrary to Wikipedia policy, no matter how pointless that may be. - Joshua Clement Broyles  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.24.79.174 (talk) 17:37, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Hi, I added some of the recent history at the bottom a couple of weeks ago. When I circled back to see if there'd been any editing, I noticed that the name of the website "Heavy.com" had been dropped from the text here, where the asterisks are: 
tribe.net was taken offline in March 2017 after an article on ***** [10] about a Reddit thread[11] described child porn activity on the network.[10][11]
The publication name seems to still be in the coding, but it doesn't show in the article. Rather than muck it up (my html knowledge is superficial at best), I thought I'd just point it out.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.173.64.110 (talk) 23:06, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
