Open letter to the owners, mods, etc. of the old busted thing.


Dear tribe.net mods and owners: You have consistenly ignored the massive resistance to the changes you have made. Almost no one likes it. It's inefficient, unattractive, and miserable to use. Yet, despite the biggest backlash I've seen since Bush was appointed, you plod on as if everything is just fine.
It used to be a wonderful grassroots online community. Sure, every community has it's trolls and bad apples, but for the most part it was a place for all the freaks, burners, hippies, punks, goths, yippies, vegans, omnivores, activists, and everyone else to gather and share openly, freely, and comfortably. Now it's has become MySpace.
Several people, including myself, bit our tongues and offered very reasonable suggestions for how to make it work for both you and us. That there is even a "you" and "us" is a problem in itself. It should have stayed "we".
You ignored every constructive suggestion, and I believe you are only shooting yourself in the foot.
Please rethink your actions, lest you lose everyone that made tribe.net worth visiting.

And since you won't, we're moving on.

Anyone, (including you Elliot!) who wants to join goto:

I thought you'd like to know,

Sincerely,

Foxy!
