Actually, he’s talking abut wolves. Who would defile your sandbox somewhat more prosaically than zombies. (Although cats would do so more specifically. But even Dracula wouldn’t be able to appreciate the music of those children of the night. )
The expected date for “read-only” to commence was March of last year, but that has been put on hold indefinitely, though AFAIK could come into effect at any moment.
Several members in this thread have stated they will not use Facebook. There are other alternatives that i will list below.
Regarding where else, besides Facebook, to contact members of this site:
Re funding for the site, it was not long ago several people offered to help financially. Why can’t some professional tech people be hired to get the job done (as in convert this site to a similar & permanent one) within a few days?

I would contribute but i think Jason said it was not a money issue
Yeah, I wouldn’t mind funding someone hired professionally to port the site over. Or taking donations for it either.
[tag]Alex Smith[/tag] would have to arrange that, though. (Theoretically one of the owners or other admins could, I suppose, but he’s the one currently most familiar with the guts of the engine.)
Sorry, the forum didn’t tell me about this tag Anyway, looking into the website has been on my to-do list for ages. I had aimed to sort it out over my long service leave but other more pressing issues came up… I’ll have a chat to a web guru friend & offer to pay him to migrate us, so that at least we have up-to-date backend software & then we can figure out the moderation issues separately.
You can talk to Alex, guys. He’s trying to find a way to keep it going, but the problem (here) is that soon the forum software will no longer be supported. He’s had a hard time finding a platform to move it to without quite a lot of money changing hands. (More than I can help out with–and to be fair moving it would be a big job and no doubt worth the quotes he’s gotten.) I think we just have to wait and see what he comes up with unless you guys have ideas. I don’t know enough tech stuff to even discuss it intelligently.
