Is Wendy wanting the forum to end? That's the only reason I can think of to not appoint moderators.

No judgment from me regarding that if it is her wish, but it would probably be good to let everyone know.

My DH maintains a website all on his own and has done so for years with little to no support. What was originally a hobby and of special interest to him has become a full time job. Thankfully, he is retired now but he worries that all that he has created will one day go away, when he is gone. No one has the skill necessary for him to pass the torch and it would not be as simple to find someone with all they would need to know to take over.

Maybe to maintain VF is a little more complicated than we all know, to keep it going for the long term. But, it would be wonderful to have a couple moderators step in, for now. For however long we can have this community to come to.

I don't know what Wendy's situation is, but maybe it would be helpful to take a moment to lift her up in prayer. For many years this site has enriched my life, with the people I've met (or through the posts I've read.) If we can reflect on the positive and stay active here, maybe something will come of it?

I don't remember who it was, but someone up thread or in another discussion who has knowledge of these things -- at least keeping up with the bot problems and weeding out legitimate new member requests -- volunteered to do it. I don't think anything ever came of it.

There are new "Newest Members" on the top forum index page, though I don't monitor such matters closely and have no special knowledge of what's happening there.

The newest one was added December 18, so it looks like new members are being added.

Actually, how do I contact Wendy? I have a specific question to do with my support subscription.

Many would step up to help.
Thank you for saying this. You are beloved enough on VF to not have everyone pounce on you when you express this thought. Others are not as fortunate.
