You're trying too hard. It was better the way it was. - Jason , posted 02/01/06 |

I agree, when I first saw the change in format I didn' like it right away. But I've given it chance and I'm still not adjusted fully. Don't think I ever will be. I think it was easy enough to use in the original format. I feel like the full potential of my tribe has been lost. =( Please change it back. - Tara , posted 01/31/06 |

Me no likes... I have always been faithful to tribe. I think it's absolutely genius and I have gotten so much use from it... BUT The new format looks like pooh. Puh-leez change it back. :) - .:G.U.N.S. N. B.U... , posted 01/30/06 |

I used Tribe because it had intuitive GUI. As much as trolls like to say "deal with it, it's FREE", Tribe's business model (like all the other "FREE" sites) is to mine our preferences, posts and keywords to create marketing and product plans. We're providing demographic data, and anyone who thinks that's "FREE" will fail Business 101. In any case, the exchange is no longer valuable for me, and Tribe can eat it. Bye Bye, Tribe. - khritteroo , posted 01/30/06 |

you take the good you take the bad you take em both and then you have the facts of life... i dont like SOME of the changes BUT it IS free and I have a lot of friends here so I go with the flow. Besides it isnt all THAT bad. deal with it people. - Unsubscribed , posted 01/29/06 |

or are they ignoring what is essentially a unanimous request to get rid of this format. In the weeks leading up to the new TOU and format change there was a lot of talk about wanting feedback, but the feedback given was summarily ignored. The CEO claims to want to make the regs happy; Wade, the public face of the new regime tells people to essentially get used to it, and I have yet to hear any one single person say that they like the way things are going. There's less participation around here, it's almost ghost-townie, people are leaving in droves, and there's a new complaint about how things are going almost every 15 seconds. What's being done about this? So far, I haven't seen anything. So whatcha gonna do folks? You're quickly running out of options. I don't think this is a storm of negativity you can ride out. - thebeigeone , posted 01/29/06 |

LOL, I joined tribe about 2 weeks before the change to the new format because I was told there was less censorship. I was told it was better than myspace. From what I have seen, Myspace is much more customizeable, and with a bit of coding, the censorship can be over-ridden in some cases....I even have the fact I am Polyamorous on my detail section. I am very disappointed in Tribe. It is too bad, because had Tribe stayed the way it was, I might have considered using it more than myspace....now, as I see many others with the same sentiment, I too rarely come onto tribe. I agree the white background is horrendous. I have actually started telling people NOT to use Tribe because of all the changes. - LadyLilithDreams , posted 01/29/06 |

it's not as bad once you get used to it... Time will tell. While the ads are a bit annoying; they are a necessary evil I suppose. Myspace always crashes or hangs up my browser; and is so customizable that it's illegible half the time... - D , posted 02/06/06 |
|
Please if you must have ads, refrain from the bells and whistles kind, it's making Tribe un-user friendly. THe white gray background is not cool...seems juvenile and ordinary...Tribe is, or was, anything but ordinary..now it seems we are just consumers looking at your advertisers..where's the love man, where's the love? - Diana , posted 01/29/06 |

Massive censorship and now this?! The new Tribe look bites! But I've spent so much time (and made great friends) here, it'll be hard to leave...but I'm considering it. Too much white background. The inability to see all of your info (all of your tribes for example) on one page. No navigation bar to see/go where you just were on Tribe. But the entire "look" is terrible. When you click on a Tribe it looks like crap. I used to recommend this site a lot, but you can be sure that won't be happening any longer. I sincerely hope the Tribe "leaders" see these posts and will act accordingly...return to sender! We want the old tribe back! "No old Tribe , no peace, no old Tribe, no peace!!!!" - Kevin , posted 01/29/06 |

It is definately less user friendly and not organized in a good manner. It makes tribe more annoying and difficult to use....Ive been spending a lot less time on it since the so called "upgrade". - Tatiana , posted 01/28/06 |

Censorship sucks, and now so does tribe. Because of their incomprehensible decision to censor this adult community, they should just publish a background image of a big, steaming pile of dog shit, because that's what they've got here now. - bedeviler , posted 01/28/06 |

I can understand a desire to change tribe, to make navigation clearer and more intuitive. There are industry specialists who even have psychology degrees who specialize in making websites and directories easier to use and clearer. I really hope that tribe didn't actually pay such a consultant or firm with such a specialty to advise these changes. Because if they did, they should consider the reaction they are getting to these changes as basis for a lawsuit. Evidence is that if you want a range of people from Boomers, to Gen Xer's, to the current bunch of over eighteens... that you don't give people sterile corperate image. You give them pop culture icons which give them a softer spot. For instance the way the google graphic changes around their logo... something creative and quirky, fun. If I could for instance tune into tribe and see a funny scene with Ren and Stimpy around the tribe logo on day, something with I dunno... having to do with beauty and the geek the following day, or making a cheeky reference in the logo to a celebrity scandal of some kind....but the old format, it would actually probably create a bigger draw than all of these interface changes. - Bruecke Bautraeger , posted 01/28/06 |

it's amazing how each and every one of you spend so much time bitching and griping about how you hate this modification because you can't take the white background, you hate having to click more blah, blah, blah --- YET you can stomach it long enough to fucking gripe. you don't like it, get the fuck off and don't let it bother you anymore. what do you expect from a fucking FREE site? as it has been mentioned, there are plenty of alternatives for you to join up and bitch and gripe about, like Yahoo 360, myspace and all those other shitty places. sure, tribe could've went about this whole redesign differently, but they didn't. get the fuck over it . grow up and use the fucking site as IS, or go back and play hopscotch or something else your fucking lack of a brain is competent to handle. it sure isn't designed to be online. i'm certainly hoping the next revamp is even LESS user friendly than this rollout so maybe some of you griping fuckers can go to romper room where you belong. i hear myspace is really the place to be: kids, pedophiles, and other idiots who don't need to own computers. - Unsubscribed , posted 01/29/06 |

Memo: to all current boyfriends or girlfriends of tribe employees Subject: seks If you are currently "giving it up" to a tribe employee, STOP NOW. No nookie until they repeal this stupidity they call the "most recent upgrade". If you are not currently givin' any lovin' to your tribe employee., START Immediately. Maybe if they get laid once in a while, they'll stop screwing with tribe. To anyone willing to "take one for the team" ... Find a tribe employee who ain't getting any, and Rawk Their World. That is all. We now return you to the remnants of the formerly cool thing called Tribe. - TechnoBrat , posted 01/27/06 |

I really don't understand why people have clicked 5 stars, then ripped it. I wish there was a way to have NO STARS. This sucks. from the high contrast, migraine causing new look, to the simple fact that I can't get to my messages from a photo page (like we used to be able to). It's just poor design and layout. Shit, even Yahoo 360 is still in Beta form AFTER ALMOST 2 YEARS, not 2 weeks like Tribe did. All of this could've been taken care of quickly, efficiently, and painlessly. It's not that hard to change the background color. the links may take a few more hours, but not many, AND YOUR RESPONSE COULD HAVE BEEN. PERIOD. No response to an outcry of this magnitude, by your own members? What the fuck are we to you people? Stop blowing fucking smoke up my ass and come clean already. Do you want us to stay or get the hell out now? Because all signs point to go, and I've already started moving, and have gotten 12 other people to start moving or move already too. I wonder how many more I can take? Or how many THEY will take? and how many they will take....and how many they will take.......and so on and so on and so on. Pretty soon, there's nobody left to take, and you're getting your car repoed because your company is belly up. You shall feel the sting in your wallet, that I have felt in my eyes. So mote it be. - Unsubscribed , posted 01/27/06 |

Why is the title of this thread, Tribe goes back to latest version. No it hasnt. IS this a vote they want, by asking us to give it 5 stars to go BACK..or is it actuly counting the 5 stars as approvel of the new design. I give one star.......cause it is all confused.

"Despite the pleas of those on board, the Captain has decided that it's best to 'stay-the-course' and take us on through arctic waters. If we're lucky we won't hit any icebergs. Thank you for sailing the Tribetanic." What a joke ... no one is happy. I log on less and less ... don't even bother posting anymore really. It seems no one is happy with it? What's the harm in saying "Oops okay ... maybe public opinion does amount to something"? The responses in these forums say all of the things your demographic charts and surveys didn't ... nobody likes it ... even the ones who don't hate it are just apathetic. Time to change course Cap'n - Unsubscribed , posted 01/26/06 |

It takes me up to 3 clicks to get to where I would get with a click or sometimes even without a click – right from "my page". The colors hurt my eyes. And what is the "Tribes-Members-Places-Listings" doing at the most prominent "real estate". How many members need to be explained what "listings" are? Or why do I ever need to go to a page that lists 3 people that I am connected with (out of thousands) and 10 or so people that I don't know (The Members button). Such prominent real estate should be given to functions that are used more often, for example tabs to the USER'S Tribes or friends or listings. Who cares about those generic/sample ones? BTW. seems like we all got confused on what the star rating means. Do we rate this idea or do we rate new Tribe? If it was a rating for the new Tribe, it would be exaclty 1 star average. -  Twisted Swami

It's really a shame that tribe feels the need to listen to it's advertisers over it's members!! Because once you lose your members you will then lose your advertisers anyway! And then your greed will cause you to go bankrupt! Really a shame that you will have to crash in flames so quickly like that! We liked you, we loved you!!! Now we Loathe you!!!!

I do not like this New Version at all. I hate it, in fact. It is harder to use, hard on the eyes and I am spending much less time on Tribe than I was before.

hahaha you know whats funny? The rating I gave regarding tribe sucking so bad was deleted. Maybe it was cause I used the "FFFF" word and the gestapo didnt like it. AAAAAAnddd whats even funnier is that the Blog I posted the other day regarding how bad this sucks has mysteriously "DISAPEARED". Hmmm.... curiourser and curiourser. So I am going to once again give my rating by being a little more "PC" and say. "Tribe..... I hate what you've done. You are not serving those you claim to serve. You are "Serving Yourselves". Take a good look at what you are doing before you go and serve yourselves OUT OF THE WATER". This is not cool. - LunaMiel , posted 01/26/06 |

It is incredibly difficult to navigate this site now. I loved that bar at the top where you could see where you were and just click back to whatever page you wanted.

Not only did we not get a choice about the new TRIBE look, but we don't even get a choice about giving them a zero. They do get at least one star for all of us telling them that SUCK!. So even there system for statistics is rigged just like thier censorship and the rest of the bullshit. OK Members it's up to us to get a new communication system going. Fuck the zealots and the bible thumpers who try constantly mandate morality and the TRIBE let them do that. TRIBE is now just ordinary and that's not what i want I don't want ordinary, never have and that's why I came here in the first place because it was exciting and had many places and people you could meet that would open your eyes to all kinds of great and fascinating ideas, it was that , but it is no longer. If anyone heres of another place that is better or your in the process of creating something new, please let us all know, I'm ready to go somewhere else.

I cannot spent the time to search for simple stuff even in my own profile... this whole revamp is patently and exasperatingly anachronistic.... even the simple functionalities that made this a true online experience are gone, deflated. I cannot have that 'at-one-glance' overview of myTribe anymore... it is all hidden. Colors are pharma, like a generic private-label brand for SAV-ON.

Everything we ever worked for on this has been taken over by yet another conservative who didn't like it. So just because you don't like it we have to suffer the consequences? This is impossible to navigate, and everything good about it has been sucked dry. But hey now it's not only censored crap it's getting rid of the very thing that made it interesting and worth going to. Next you'll see that we have to pay for this crap like they do with everything else. I just signed up for myspace and you know what? I think I;m going to like it better because at least we control it and they keep what the REAL PEOPLE want - Unsubscribed , posted 01/25/06 |

ok, I'm not much of a complainer, but the old design had a really elegant simplicity to it which I miss. There were nice simple clean lines, subtle depths and fields. this new design lacks that. it is unfocused and harder to use. From a business perspective I know it sucks to throw out all of that work you have been doing for the last several months, but hey new coke didn't work out either, so they went back to coca-cola classic. go back to tribe classic. - jεnnalεx , posted 01/25/06 |

Wouldn't it be awesome? I would run around saying "HAH! I *told* you Wade loves us. I *told* you he wants us to be hapy - but you were all like 'noooo'" and "oh my god it's like we're in heaven - but we still have genitals!" - Lokifreign , posted 01/24/06 |

Dear Wade & Company, Please put the old version back. New Year, new design? But why? You had me addicted to this site and now I can't stand coming back. I understand we're never going to get the old version back but it would be great if you did. Ugh! - Claudia

I hate that I can't even filter the posts I see from my network. If I wanted to hear about every rave, hookahfest and protest in the vicinity, it'd be great, but I DON'T. Where are my friends' blog posts? Oh, right, their buried in this CRAP you won't let me filter out. - LadyKalessia , posted 01/24/06 |

Psst Icky bob--passing this on.. as much i didn't like having blogs, ratings, events, postings mixed in together, if it wasn't for this, I probably would have glossed this over.. heh heh.. There are probably two things I like about it, but I'd rather have the old format back - Unsubscribed , posted 01/24/06 |

Please return Tribe to the way it was -- including photos containing artistic nude shots. The white interface is ugly beyond belief -- and encourages me to spend as little time as possible here. Raul - Raul , posted 01/24/06 |

I like the attempt at a new visual look for tribe. However the colors are plain (red on grey?). The don't provide any contrast thus the pages don't "pop". Instead they sit there looking rather dull. Add to that the architecture of the pages are absolute shite. It took me 5-10 minutes to figure out how to get to my home page alone. I was tempted to sign out and forget about it all together. (I am permently signed in on my home computer.) I really like the way in which you have built a community here. It's 10 times better than myspace within layout and everything (in your past version). However this attempting left me wanting... and debating whether it's worth my time to bother with it further. - Renata , posted 01/24/06 |

Clumsy, generic, and totally NOT user-friendly! Did Tribe loose all their good graphic designers when they joined the Bush administration back on Dec.20th? - LOLa , posted 01/24/06 |

When I can't get to the "my tribe page" with the big wonking "my tribe button" I know something is wrong. I never had any usability problems with the last version. Miss the orange too as well as the seperate blog sections from my friends and seperate listings sections. - Laurie , posted 01/24/06 |

At least they did put the entrance page back to the format it was before, even if it's still the new, sterile graphics. I miss not being able to see all of my tribes that have been active without having to open them up and also the bar that allowed one to go back to previous places visited.:( - Ln , posted 01/24/06 |

Who did they sample with their "extensive research" Mental patients? They are probably used to white walls and blaring insanity. This new format is not easy to navigate, the stuff I like isn't right at my finger tips, it looks like poo (well actually brown would be an improvement) it's not cool anymore and it's not fun. I used to be a tribe junky, but now I don't even feel like logging on. All that money that is being wasted by advertisers isn't doing any good if people don't like the page they are viewing, we won't stay long enough to click through any of the adds, and isn't that the reason those ads are there? If I don't even go to the page, then that means no clicks and that means NO REVENUE!! Hello can anyone over there in portrero hill hear me? Turn around go the other way, cuz THIS SUX!!!! I found a simple solution, I just joined myspace, its easy to get around, and it doesn't strain the eyes, someone let me know if tribe goes back to cool instead of "white" hot - BCroidayn , posted 01/29/06 |

i liked how quickly i was able to access all my tribes from the front page...this new layout sux...it was bad enough you had to censor us...now you got to chang it to this shit...it hasn't really made me want to log in and blog...or use...how sad i've been on myspace more..:( - JdaP , posted 01/24/06 |

i'm discouraged from using tribe. Too bright (much white space), i dimed my monitor and it still hurts the eyes. too slow (some how it is slower then before). lots & lots, of wasted screen real estate. - (evil)Pete , posted 01/24/06 |

Tribe, What are you thinking? First the invasive ads everywhere, then the censorship, now this awkward and ugly design. I used to love tribe. Now I just don't go there much. You people have totally screwed it up. Please revert. Admit you made a mistake. It's okay; we all make mistakes. But responsible grown ups admit them and correct them. Otherwise, don't be surprised when a better network comes along, everyone jumps ship, and before long you're unemployed and unemployable because you were too stupid to let a good thing continue to succeed. - The Ministry of P... , posted 01/24/06 |

Imagine my surprise when . . . -WAIT!! You don't have to!! You 've all lived it! I can't Quite understand where or when this "extensive research" took place, but one has to ask if it was a representitive sample of users, or merely the online addicted underaged crowd that keeps myspace afloat, and seems to have the time to answer surveys about formats as crappy as this! I wish they had just asked us for money -that they could put into advertising . (Imagine how often a person like me says something like that!!) Please go back. P.S. - The Stars rate this page and it's discussion, NOT the amount you hate the new layout. - Walter , posted 01/23/06 |

You should have beta tested this peice of crap. I used to love coming here, but now it is kinda like going to the hospital. Could it be more sterile. Maybe you should grab up some of the extremely creative users you have and put them on your creative staff. Oh do you have one of these? A third grader could have come up with these "improvements" Please return us to the old Tribe. - Sam , posted 01/23/06 |

Tribe used to be the best thing since powdered toast, I actually would go off on rants to friends about how cool it was. Then the "Changes" started happening. It seems to only get worse, each and everytime you all mess with something, Wade. Is your main advisor in all of this, in all actuality your arch-nemesis helping you to bring about your own doom? Are you bitter about something? Do you need a hug? All of these changes aren't in the best interest of your company(and I'm a big fosterer of good change, deario) . You know the old mottos of business, right? "The customer will tell you exactly what they want, all you have to do is listen." "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Well, you aren't listening and you broke it. Howz about switching that around before you go belly up? Or would you prefer to appear in Wired and other mags, a year from now in an article titled: "How to ruin your online business in less than a year." We say these things because we care and don't want to leave. If you want a completely different demographic as members, do us all a favor and stop being passive-aggressive - just tell us we are no longer wanted. There will be less heartache in the end for everyone involved. My vote of 1 is under the impression you are asking what we think of Tribe's latest version. Make things plainer than legal speak, would you? - Moon , posted 01/23/06 |

will you listen to your community and walk your talk? or is this all for nothing? or maybe it's just a secret test to unify the tribes... and then when you change it back we get to once again realize that our voices make a difference... thanks guys! are you taking into account that many gave it 4 or 5 stars who think the new looks really sucks? thanks for the effort but i feel it's way too corporate for such a creative forward thinking community. - Unsubscribed , posted 01/23/06 |

I wonder if the 5 stars vs. 1 star problem here.....equalling an average of 3 stars is going to suggest to Tribe that everything's okey doke with their shitty new design. You better be reading this WADE!!!!!!!!! Cuz I think I like my dingleberrys better than I like my Tribe!!!!!!!!!! Please honor the people's request, which seems to be unanimous, because a lot of us are here in the Bay Area and can and will organize quickly to find an alternative if necessary and then you will probably have to move....... far away. - Unsubscribed , posted 01/23/06 |

Please revert to the old Version!! Aside from the silly candied look for the new version, I am finding it much harder to navigate. and it now takes me several clikcs to arrive at what was once just there. Examples inlcude not being able to see all my tribes and which ones have new postings. When I get to the tribe itself, I see all messages cluttered together, instead of posts and listing and events being separated, which now requires additional clicks. What a confusing pain in the ass! Improvments are supposed to make things easier. How about a better search engine to find people? I am all for improvements in funcitonality, but this feels like a major step backwards in the Evolution of Tribe. It is a shame.....

I feel like tribe is slowly sucking the life out of their own creation...

Please take it back to the old version. I belong to a lot of Tribes and not being able to have them all on my homepage is very annoying. (among other annoyances) Usability quotient way down.

There once were these creative folks who were invited into a quirky salon. They were elated to find that it was not "packaged" for them, but rather had its own unique style, a personality even. They sighed and made themselves at home and got down to the serious business of connecting and sharing ideas, creating and networking. It was amazing, and it spilled into the rest of their lives and made them brighter and sharpened their creative skills and energies. It was free and open there, and that freedom made magic happen. Then one day, the owner of the house started changing things. The decor became bland and sanitized, a lot of salesmen started showing up and the creative folks were being told more and more what to say and do and to please watch their language. They began to grumble to each other and ask what was up. The owner just smiled and patted them on the heads. One day, there appeared a maze so complex leading to the front door that many of the creative people got lost and never found their way in. The few who did noticed that they were surrounded by starched shirts, tinny affected laughs and high-tea. It wasn't necessary for the owner to actually say the words "You are no longer welcome here" - all the signs were there and the creative folks all packed up their stuff and left to build their own gathering place, remembering what once was, but is no more. - Passion , posted 01/23/06 |
