Angelfire... is this a joke?

It's no joke. We'll be the first to admit that the reputation for web sites like Angelfire and GeoCities isn't the best, mostly due to the colorful MySpace-like pages that were produced by amateur webmasters of the 1990s. The Tridge does use Angelfire, however it does not use the free service. Angelfire is a good service - if one is willing to pay for all of the benefits they offer - the most important of which is complete independence when it comes to site design and coding. Angelfire gives us a "blank slate" with no ad scripts or HTML restrictions.

There is a lack of content / When do you update the site?

We have been inconsistent in this regard. Currently, we are slowly working toward balancing the current content and establishing a weekly update - updated on each Monday. We are not a 24 hour news site, it's best to think of us as more of a periodical than anything.

Is there a print version of The Tridge?

Not yet. There are plans to produce a print version of The Tridge very soon.
