For anyone caught in the Tripod debacle trying to recover pages they 
don't have backed-up:

Do a Google search (at www.google.com) on terms that will pull up your 
pages. A good bet is running a search for: 

your name, or something that appears on every one of your pages, and 
"site:members.tripod.com" (without the quotation marks).

If you get a hit, don't click on the link itself, it will give you a 
blank page. Instead, click on "cached." This will give you a copy of 
the page that Google has saved in its cache, probably from before 
Tripod booted you.

Do this fast, before Google updates its cache.

>From what I've heard, Tripod is hitting all manner of fansites: slash, 
gen, het, fanart, etc., using the copyright clause in the TOS. I think 
angelfire sites are owned by the same parent company, so those of you 
on angelfire might also want to backup, if you haven't already.
