Frequently Answered Questions
Who cooked up the name of this site and why?
The name was cooked up by Wm. J King, Jr. back in 2001 as for why... Hmmmm... do the math, 7 Boys and 1 Girl. If each of them has at least 2 kids, that would make 16, 3rd generation members... and well I'm sure you see the point. If you can't... well, King Tribe sounded better than King Rabbits.
What happened to the site that looked more like this was a tribe?
Oh it's still around but no longer maintained. Check the Original Site link over to the left. Before you ask... everyone's gotten older, have their own families to care for, grown apart, it's been a real pain in the ass to try and even keep pictures updated so screw it... the old site is original and might get updated once in a blue moon as far as images are concerned. So the site now will just focus on the family that the webmaster has.
I have a complaint about your website and find some of your content questionable and offensive especially the webmaster's language, what can I do?
Well send an email to ireelydontcare@yourisp.net or ipfreely@imaloser.com and the postmaster will answer your complaint right away, or dial one eight hundred three two eight seven four four eight. Bear in mind, you don't like it, we'll get right on top of it to make sure you are fully satisified. (When you leave, don't let the door hit you in the @$$)
I'm trying to send Email to one of The King Tribe members and it's bouncing back at me with a 550 Anti Spam type message HELP!
That's happening because the email service you are using or your ISP has been marked as a spam relay or blocked because of spammers, want it fixed? Yell at your ISP or Email provider. Better yet get another online email provider.
Every once in awhile I can't seem to be able to connect to the website, what's up with that?
That's because the gateway router at the ISP's core, that this server sits on every once in awhile decides to go on strike and requires a little tender loving phone call to the ISP to get it's heartbeat going again. The firewall appliance has been very stable thou.
Why don't you just list members e-mail addresses?
Well that's simple... WE HATE GETTING SPAM! Spammers love to employ techinques like using web crawling robots that are stupid unless they see BITEME@NOSPAMMERS.ORG then hello I got a real email address so let me put that in my database for the next time I send out spam. Spammers suck! We don't want to receive email telling us that we need: help in getting it hard, how to enlarge that which already outsizes the average spammer that should be worried about using thier own product to feel more manly, supplements that will help us grow bigger breasts than what we got from lifting weights, invitations to look at naked women on some website that we can see live at the local stripper club, help getting our diplomas, how to earn 20 billion dollar by giving someone our bank accounts for them to supposedly slip money into for laundrying money (really come on you ain't taking us to the cleaners), or how Microsoft will affect us because we didn't pass on your STUPID F'in email to tell all our friends. THAT'S WHY! Don't like it.... TOUGH!
Okay I found the website now how do I send an email to a member?
Locate the person in the family just put your mouse over a face until you find the person you are looking for. If you click on it and if they have a webpage/website you will be directed to it. Then look at the /~username after http://www.thekingtribe.com in your URL bar. Use everything to the right of the /~ so in this example you would send mail to username@thekingtribe.com FINE! YOU'RE LAZY or braindead I'll go with the latter and provide you a quick and dirty page HERE soon. However I warn you that unless the person listed is a member of jhks's tribe, odds are the person doesn't have an email account or a bounce forward.
It looks like the site lost alot of genealogy data...
We did, along with a ton of other stuff. Thanks to the fine wonderful stable power provided by Duquesne Light we suffered a power surge that took out 2 UPS's a power supply and a hard drive. Of course that hard drive had the only copy of the gedcom files along with a ton of other important information.
