We hope to bring this to you atleast once a month (probably in The Archi ve) where we can keep you up to date on all the TRiBE News and Information that  you may not be getting elsewhere. (WHAT! You don't carry ToXiCNet yet?!) The first thing we're going to tackle this month is something whi ch alot of you people out there can't seem to get a grasp on, which is that T RiBE does not have nor does it want Distribution Sites. Why? It's fairly simp le. TRiBE is an ANSi/ART Group, not a Courier group. We feel that it would tak e valuable time and effort away from this to be able to find, support and upkeep  Official Distribution Sites. For this fact, we've gone out to whom we feel are the best in the  field of couriering, SWaT, who has been and will be Distributing The Archiv e each month to THIER SITES. It's just more effecient for US to use the EXI STING system SWaT has in place for Couriering and Distribution instead of m aking up our own and having to deal with it ourselves. Some people feel that Groups get support from Sites, but the fact  is it is the other way around. Groups support boards. You don't see SysOp s going out and getting thier own couriers and making sure they get thier own  files, as a whole. They want to be a Site so they don't have to go do it th emselves. Anyone wanting to SUPPORT TRiBE by making our material available for  download on thier boards, FEEL FREE. It won't make you a SITE, nor make us in  any way responsable to do ANYthing in return for you. Whew. Getting tired from repeating all this all the time. ANYwa y, the next thing that people seem confused about is what TRiBE is all about . Sure, we love to hear from you guys saying how you like our stuff and you t hink its as good as Group such and such or better than Group so and so, but it 's not anything we're after or trying for. We're all out to avoid the pissing contests for bragging rights t hat the "Big Two" seem so wrapped up in (and what most of us are in TRiBE to  get away from, amoung other things). We pretty much just try to smile and nod , be it someone saying, "Damn! You guys started with nothing and are better  than iCE now! Congrats." or someone saying, "Fuck. You guys can't draw worth  a shit. TRiBE reminds me of oMo or HoMo or whatever the fuck Tornado's group  was. He can draw better than any of you.", because we're not doing this for p ublic approval. It's Fun and Money, buddy. Deal with it. Alrighty! Now that all that's out of the way, I can get to the F UN stuff. This month saw some new members joining us. The list includes Dead E nd, Mystic Knight, Dreamevil and Leper Messiah. Stormblade also came aboard to  help out us ANSi guys whenever we want to put a Poem in the piece. YES. TRiBE always welcomes people who want to join in the Fun an d Money making opertunities. We don't have or need no stinking Applications,  just find a TRiBE Member, get him your stuff, and sooner or later we'll ge t around to getting in touch with you and talking to you all about it. Since  we only really have Artists as members, we don't do that whole Recruitment BS . You won't find guys like Cetis and Cavalier in TRiBE who'll call you up a nd bug your ass until you join. We'll just contact you and tell you about TRiBE and give you time  to make your OWN decision, and let it go at that, whatever it is. TRiBE does n't have Trial Members. You're in or your not. Since TRiBE doesn't give a sh it about public opinion, we don't bother with a Quality Control system, you're  either in or your not. We don't have Quotas and if you don't do anything we dr op you off the list like you don't exist. Hell, we don't even bother with the p olitical beuracracy of some kind of orginizational BS. As you can see, there just isn't a group out there like us, wheth er you think the ideas and philosophies behind it are good or not. SOME peo ple are always quick to point out that other groups who've tried to run alitt le bit like TRiBE in the past have failed. *I* would point out that *NO* gr oup has ever tried to do EVERYTHING TRiBE has. Sure, for example, Spectre di dn't have a Staff or other orginizational BS. Then again, they were in the sam e old mold of and made up of people trying to keep in the same old cycle of  trying to be "Better Than" someone or other. The Archive will be out each and every month, regardless of what  kind of K we produce or the number of ANSis we produce. The other smaller gr oups out there, in thier attempt to compete with iCE and ACiD, they hold back  3 and 4 months worth of material to release 3 or so times a year. This would  piss *ME* off as an artist, if people only got to see my stuff upwards of  3 months after I release it. Well, I think I got enough of this stuff out for this month. Hop efully next month we'll have some stuff from other members in here so I don' t have to yack about all this stuff that seems to get sooooooooo many people  mad. Let's hope so, eh?
