The Professor has put more hours of time, love and money into the Forge than any one could imagine. It's a great FREE gift that he gives us. I really wouldn't worry about it.
You can email the prof. I believe that he has let Mondobot go in favor of looking at opportunities that may come from partnerships with companies such as Hanson labs, but I really do not know. I think he has to make a living, but that doesn't mean this site will close down soon.
Yes I know it is free and I appreciate it. I'm sure my donations will be appreciated as well. And thanks for all the info that's all I needed to know

Brother Jerome Makes Loebner Prize Finals
Congratulations to Psimagus, whose bot Brother Jerome has made the finals of the 2008 Loebner Prize. This year the Loebner Prize made changes to the rules that opened the door for Personality Forge AI to compete. We're working hard to get the offline PF Robotics Edition ready for the final competition which is at Reading University in the UK on October 12th.
Great work, Psimagus! It's very exciting, and very interesting, I'll try to follow it as closely as I can. Best of luck!
