which is when?

I try to use lower-case when referring to individuals tribes or the idea of a tribe, but Tribe.net (capitalized & appendage) for the company.

    tribe's logo(s) never used a capital t, why would you? also look at the bottom navbar:
    about tribe.net | why join tribe.net? | terms of use | your privacy | contact us

      Logos don't mean anything. The text in the bottom bar, however, is telling.

      Typically I don't capitalize anything that looks like a domainname unless context (start of a sentence) requires. So "Tribe": okay; "Tribe.net": no.

        if you read through their about pages, you will find that they use capitalization inconsistently - both Tribe.net and tribe.net, even on the same page. Which is in keeping with their general level of quality control.
