“Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”

On March 6, 2026, Lycos announced that their services, specifically Angelfire and Tripod, were experiencing temporary outages in a note on their frontpage.[6] Later that day, the message was updated to say "To our users of Angelfire and Tripod. We apologize for the service interruptions. Unfortunately we will be shutting down in the next 30 days. Please move your hosting to another host as soon as possible."[7] The message was removed from the homepage shortly after, without further official statement from the company.[8]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dhizqnf7e5qg7uh35spizsyi/bafkreihk7brm5w3krxjhavw4f42rvq6m56slknh6vx4lpxjbaivzy6vzzi)
