Now that the news of his takeover is out, Tribe founder Mark Pincus shares with the blog SiliconBeat his plans, now that he's back at the helm.

• 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.
