inactive accounts?

2004-10-19T15:09:56Z

Does Tribe delete inactive accounts? Reason I ask is because a friend of mine (someone I met on Tribe, and then in person) died recently, and I wonder what will happen to the many tribes of which she is moderator. If her account is deleted, would not her tribes be deleted along with her account?

Ideas for other tribes

2004-05-03T12:35:54Z

Hi everyone! I had some ideas for other tribes:

1. Looking for someone - A site to submit what information you know about someone you want to find
Found: Looking4someone.tribe.net
2. Lost and Found Bin - A site to submit something you have lost and would like to find.
3. Dreaming Zone - A site to share what your perfect life, day or weekend or anything else would be.
4. Copy Cats of Tribe.net
5. Famous board games - Trivial Pursuit, etc.
6. Greatest things - Greatest vacation spots, greatest restaurants, greatest deeds, etc.
7. The news that did not get reported - As anyone who has been the subject of the main stream media knows, the whole truth does not usually get out.

You get the idea right? If you think of more, add them here and continue the numbering so they can be referred to by others.

tribe ambassadors, tribe yentas?

2004-03-16T08:56:38Z

I just discovered a tribe, "Misspellers Untie" that predates my "Proof reading is fro sissies" tribe. Sigh. Do I dissolve mine? Suggest a merge? It just seems like clutter now.

There are two tiny tribes for fanciers of Betta splendens, AKA the Siamese fighting fish. One of them spells it beta, which may be why the second was formed as it wouldn't be obvious from a search.

There are more natural history and marine biology tribes popping up; a cephalopod tribe, a marine life tribe, a nature center tribe.

Various gardening tribes duplicate or overlap.

New tribes start out with a burst of energy, then become dormant. It would be better if the new members of Plantaholics Anonymous had simply joined the Garden Center (or whatever).

Rings would make sense. But tribe doesn't have 'em (yet). Some of these tribe would greatly benefit from a merge or at least the cross pollination offered by letting the membership know about other tribes with similsir or overlapping interests.

I feel the urge to meddle! What to do, what to do?

I'm trying to get the Northern Arizona Dean crowd to move onto tribenet. One concern that has been raised is the possibility of getting piles of junkmail because of joining tribe.

I don't get junk from tribe, but I don't get junkmail anyway. I assume it's the mail program I'm using (earthlink) or that I'm on an OS X Mac.

The tribe software is really acting weird for me today. Posts i put up aren't showing. Posts by other people from earlier today have vanished. The list of my tribes on my tribe home page isn't listing new posts. And when i go to the "browse tribes" page to see them, the numbers of new posts aren't disappearing when I read them.

Freaky.

Granted, I've flipped back and forth on computers today. I need more memory on my OSX machine and was on a 9.something or other for a day or so. But still, that shouldn't make that much difference? Should it?

And and and, As i go read different topics in different tribes I notice that there are three different icon shots that I have used this week all up at once?!? What gives?

tribe spams

2004-01-12T02:33:59Z

there have been messages sent directly to people by people that then unsibscribe (I've gotten a few Nigerian 411 letters).

there have been messages cross-posted in numerous tribes to promote other tribes that seem to have nothing to do with where they are posted.

there have been messages posted in numerous tribes to promote fragile shimmering filigreed pyrimids of Ponzi, that then get deleted by the Tribe police.

there have been imflammatory messages posted to tribed by individuals that join the tribe, flame on, then leave the tribe. (Can't track this back down; anyone have a link to a thread with that guy?)

What are the best methods for dealing with such thing?

Mr. B would flame all in sight--but this does nothing for those who unsibscribe, are banned, just want to see more flame, etc.

Tribe police deleted the Ponzi posts--but this also deleted the commentary that follwed them (in particular, I was disappointed to see it vanish from Kinky_SF...we really had something going, there).

Any suggestions?

I'm seeing these attributes:

with internal url being the only unique key.

And no one place to get get 'um all.
Neither category nor search listings contain public urls.
On the Tribe Page, Category and description come and go depending on your membership.

I find myself overclicking just to gather the data to make a recommendation. At this point I really just want a big fat file

Stack

2004-01-06T01:32:15Z

There are a stack of booze, beer, and bar tribes. Currently, the best way to find the lot is to click on users and eyeball the names of their tribes. This is neither ideal nor authoritative. My first idea is to make a uber tribe (probably moderated) where the Discussion Topics are basically an index.

Oh, actually, that's just like
http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=communitysearch

The advantage is that there can be multiple updaters. Perhaps the public url of the uber-tribe could be sprinked into the description field of willing moderators.

A poorer idea is to make a fake user.

Others?

The next day a very similar group popped up in the Newest Tribes section. Since then I've found a few others and xposted the public urls.

Without looking hard I found ten tribes that deal with tattoos. Surely there is some duplication here.

suicide boys - tattoos, peircings, body mods (romance)

Hott Girls with Tattoos - girls with tattoos and those that like them (romance)

bodymod - tattoos, peircings, body modifications in general

Graffiti Art & Tattoos - self explanatory

Tatoophiles - general tattoo discussion (sic on name)

tattoos - show them off
tattheadz - show them off
HARDCORE INKED MEN - show them off
TATTOO'D DOWN UNDER - Aussie/Kiwi show them off
Punk Rock Cocks - tattooed/peirced in the other "down under" show them off

listing some of the tribes they think qualifies the human race for an extinction event.

tribe tips

2003-12-17T19:50:01Z

To hunt for new posts in big topics, search for "M new" matching case. The M matches the end of AM/PM and right after the post time is the word 'new' on new posts. Handy for, eg, the 260+ post thread in Kinky Sci-Fi.

http://stringcanphone.tribe.net

2003-12-17T03:43:21Z

I'd like to expand the tribe. The original "idea" (if there was one) was, honestly, to be devoted to string-can phones. I had some weird idea that maybe a bizarre, jokey, tongue-in-cheek self-conciously-ironic "renaissance" in string-can-phone creation would be sparked, and all sorts of activity and action would be provoked.

Now that I've started taking my meds again, I am thinking there are more uses for the tribe, such as being the metaphorical springboard for discussions of other "outdated" or "jokey" technologies: radio-teletype, acoustic-couple modems, antique radios, hand-crank phonographs, vinyl video, typewriters, etc.

Thoughts, all four of the rest o' you out there?

tribe charter revision

2003-12-05T22:15:46Z

to expand, extend, and generally make this tribe useful, I propose some of all of the following changes:

- extend discussion to >behavior< on tribes (not the purview of Tribe Ideas, but it's sneaking in, and I think TI should be kept for programming/design issues).

- something else that I've forgotten

what is alt.config?

2003-11-17T22:16:52Z

In Usenet alt.config is a discussion place for finding or justifying the creation of new alt.* groups. There are far more alt.* groups than could ever be needed, so some limiting is needed.

Tribe.net doesn't have that problem. Yet.

I hope this could be a place where people talk about tribes they see a need for and others could chime in with "Ah, that exists grasshopper and is called Foo" or "Yes, you're right. Why not create it?"

Some other tribes about tribes and tribe.net:

TribeIdeas is ideas for improving tribe.net as a service
http://tribeideas.tribe.net/

Tribe.net bugs is for pointing out problems with the tribe.net service
http://tribebugs.tribe.net/

Tribe Addicts is for people who want to discuss spending too much time on tribe.net
http://tribeaddicts.tribe.net/

Tribe Whores is for roughly the same people, but seems to slant more towards people who have joined a lot of tribes
http://tribewhores.tribe.net/

Social software intellectuals is for the discussion of software like the stuff that runs tribe.net and related projects.

Others?

fun cross topic tribes

2003-11-13T19:01:55Z

Ever look at someone's tribe list and see two tribe names run together and think that would be interesting? Let's share those non-existant crossed tribes.

Here's one I just saw: Flash Mob Foreplay Fuckos
