Talk:Tripod.com

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This week, I hope to update this article with some additional historical and feature information. In the interest of full disclosure, I actually work at Tripod. (However, I have been doing Wikipedia stuff off and on for a while; I'm not coming on solely to edit this article.) If anyone does not want me to write it, I won't. However, I would sincerely appreciate that someone review this page after I am done to ensure that the page is properly viewpoint neutral. JRP 14:17, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Please contribute. Your unique position gives you access to more information behind the company's history than any internet archive could do. -Ichabod 00:34, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

Removed this line because it is not accurate... at least not yet: Tripod staff migrated Angelfire's infrastructure onto Tripod's servers and tools, but maintained Angelfire's brand identity. In six months if it becomes true, I'll add it back in... (FWIW, Tripod is served out of Miami and Angelfire from California.) JRP 20:37, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] removed question

I removed the following: "Is Tripod.com still functioning? It's like completely non-existant when I try to access there on 2 January 2007 16:18 GMT" It's a good question but shouldn't in article namespace. Edivorce 18:43, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tripod.com blackout

...As well as most other Lycos network sites. What's the problem there? -Mardus 18:44, 2 January 2007 (UTC)


Moved on-article discussion about blackout here:

Tripod.com isn't working today. WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY!!!!!!!???????????? 208.103.165.40, 2. jaanuar 2007, kell 19:19

Tripod was hit by a bug today. I talked to the COO Brian Kalinowski today. They are trying to fix it. 71.254.74.251, 2. jaanuar 2007, kell 23:18

It appears now that tripod.com, lycos.com and many other Lycos Network websites are operational again, so I removed the blackout notice. -Mardus 21:18, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

I've had an account with them for several years, and I've seen this sort of dropout happen only once before, they're usually pretty reliable. MDonfield 23:03, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
