Yes is a great place for more in-depth conversation and personally when it was active I thought it was brilliant.

However...

Most European burners are not on tribe and do not use tribe - and I do not mean don't use it for conversation I mean are not members and probably will not be in large numbers.

This is in part because tribe has always had a very American and even West Coast American presence.

In addition, the lists were up and running before Tribe was around so people were already involved on those lists - and given that most of the other people on the lists were in the same time zone and on the same continent it is much more useful.

I have been living in London for a few years now and I was pretty active on Tribe before I moved over here and I did try to get some more people involved on it, as have other UK/European burners but it just does not take.

The reason I posted about the lists was not to criticise tribe or suggest that people do not use it but more to let people know that if they are posting here the chances of it being seen by someone and being responded to is quite low. I was prompted to do it after logging in and seeing posts about visits to Europe that had already passed.

There are posts on these tribes around the time of London Decom and for announcing ticket sales for Nowhere, the European regional, but other than that it is a rather inactive tribe.

If someone is planning a trip over here and would like to connect with other burners then the lists are the best vehicle for making that happen.

If someone wants to post and start up a conversation and does not mind that responses are few and far between then tribe is probably quite good for that.
