The other disadvantage to this is that there are now plenty of other social networking sites that do not ask for money. Not that I think it is unreasonable to ask, but more that too many people take the easiest path. If one waits to raise the money, and the problems persist in the mean time, Tribe will lose more active people. The people who chat and blog the most tend to be more impatient when the site is down. I've found that many of the very active people in my tribes have gone to other site already.

I don't have the answer, but something more heroic, more significant has to happen to woo these people and people like them, back. I like Tribe and want to stay, but all the people I like to interact with are leaving or have left.
