Tribes now has it's very own forum section. You can find it in the list of games or you can just click this link and bookmark it (I know you want to). In addition I'm looking to add more sections to the Tribes board, so if you've got ideas, leave them here as a comment.
Finally, the moment you've all been waiting for. The Tribes FAQ from project lead Justin DuJardin:
There have been a number of questions come up after the announcement that we will be releasing Tribes using the InstantAction technology earlier this week. I've taken the liberty of writing up a quick FAQ that addresses some of the more common questions I've heard.
If you want to learn more feel free to stop by the booth at GDC and ask for me.
Instant Action Technology
Q: How does the website PlayTribes.com amount to more than just "tribes in a browser"? Can't I get all the same functionality playing the game standalone from an installer?
A: The platform that PlayTribes is built upon provides us with a unique opportunity to present a community experience for the game Tribes that has never been seen before. The core technology itself enables us to stream down the game, and perform automatic updates to it when a user returns to play again. Both clients and servers can be updated automatically, providing very fast turnaround for bugfixes and additional content.
Q: What other kinds of features can you provide in the web that I can't get in standalone?
A: In the future the website can be used for a great number of things including, a repository for user demos, custom client configurations that follow you from computer to computer, player stats, etc. The instant action web platform allows us to build all of this functionality into a website that we can also play the game in, which is pretty cool.
