• CEO Jan Gullett, laregely derided as a corporate tool (pictured) by Tribe's more outspoken anarchohippies, is so out. Hell, they'll probably frog-march him out of the office.
• Tribe is back to focusing on adults, since the teens have long since fled to MySpace.
• No more "big stupid masthead," as Mark said on his blog.
• Mark says he's the only board member. He's building his new business plan with his engineering team, and he has no marketing team. Foolhardy? Maybe. Refreshing? Hell yes.

I heard about it from heavy Tribe user Eran Globen, who noted it here. From there, the story got picked up on TechCrunch, with the usual namby-pamby caveats.

Despite what TechCrunch says, the rumor's true (as confirmed by more than one Tribe employee), Pincus wrote the post, and Tribe is back in business — or the captain's climbed back behind the wheel to go down with the ship.
