I haven't tried to do this in about a year, and boy was I surprized at how tricky it was this time around.
The old 'showall=Y' flag in the URL doesn't work anymore. And to make matters worse, if you go to the main tribes page:
tonga.tribe.net/tribes
While there is a list of categories and the number tribes in each, those pages only show 50 results, and have no 'next' link. (Bug? Deliberate omission? I think the later since tribe search results also lack a next link.)
After some experimentation, I discovered that those pages fortunately accept a 'page=N' parameter to get results past the first group. After that it was a relatively straight-forward task to figure out the 501 pages to load to get info about the approximately 24,300 non-private tribes.
