THE INSIDER
Welcome back to the new and improved Insider! We threw a lot of newly
formatted information at you last week, so you're probably dying for
your fix of Insider gossip! Let's start where we left off two weeks ago.
The last time I wrote about Billsville, I mentioned a little snow day.
Well, it just kept on snowing — to (almost) everyone's delight! The
skiers and boarders are thrilled, but those with leaky roofs are not.
With more than a foot and a half of new snow, this place is really starting
to look like a winter wonderland!
Aside from enjoying the snow last weekend, there were more than a few
Tripodians watching the Super Bowl. There were a couple of parties going
on, with plenty of finger food for guests — as was witnessed by the
plethora of leftover Super Bowl snacks that mysteriously appeared in the
café Monday morning!
On a more serious note, there have been a few exciting developments in
the Lycos Network. Tripod Auctions has combined forces with Lycos Auctions,
creating a major buying-and-selling destination that boasts a bigger and
better selection of bargains and treasures! Place your bids at the new
Lycos Auctions site!
Finally, don't forget to tell us what you think about the new Insider.
Our Tripod Test Lab site has surveys and a quickpoll for you to complete. Your
feedback counts!

MEMBERSHIP QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Get the inside dirt on some of the questions most frequently fielded by our dedicated membership department!
Q: Can I change my Tripod member name?
A: Technically, no. Your member name, once it's chosen, is stored in
several places on our servers. That makes changing the name pretty much
impossible. If you really want a new member name, you'll need to delete
your current membership and sign up again with a new member name. Just
one more reason to choose your member name with care!
