For the time being at least, the forum is set to "read only." You can browse all the existing posts, but you won't be able to create a new post or reply to an existing one.
The immediate reason for doing this, is to put a pause on the flood of spam posts that have been coming in. You don't see them, but for me (the moderator) the messages from new users go into a queue for approval.
I keep changing the anti-spam measures and purging the spam that comes in. But despite doing this just recently, I have another 4000 messages to review (and likely delete, since it's 99% spam).
Rather than paddle against the tide, I'm locking the forums so I can clear the spam behind the scenes, and decide what to do about all this.
In the meantime, if you'd like to chat or make requests, head over to the Zombie Pumpkins Discord Server, where you'll find me actively nurturing the discussions as Halloween 2023 gets closer.
