Tribe.net has been purchased by a big corporation and reduced their staff radically.

The are putting pressure on them to produce more income stream. I believe their very
existence is threatened. We can help , I think.

I love Tribe.net. I think it's paradigm of internet communication is the most communally
oriented and artistically oriented of any of the online communities (including MySpace, Friendster,
Facebook, Live Journal, etc.).

I've made more friends here, with similar interests, aesthetically in many different countries; I've set up
tours in countries; planned gigs and learned more specific things about things I've loved than with any other
internet resource.

I would love to urge you guys to buy a premium membership to help keep this community alive.
It's only $5/month or $50/year including a free t-shirt which is pretty cheap.

I have no affiliation with Tribe. I"m just urging you for the sake of all of our communities.

most sincerely,

Rick Walker
