I am a professor of religious studies, and the author of several books on the Bible and theology. I grew up in New York, Virginia, and New Mexico. I attended St. John's College, Annapolis, MD (BA, 1988), Harvard Divinity School (MTS, 1990), and the University of Notre Dame (PhD, 1995). I live in upstate New York with my wife and two wonderful kids. Starting in 2006, I had one of those strange midlife things, and turned my analysis towards horror films and literature. I have written Gospel of the Living Dead: George Romero's Visions of Hell on Earth (Baylor, 2006) - WINNER, 2006 Bram Stoker Award; Dying to Live: A Novel of Life among the Undead (Permuted Press, 2007); Orpheus and the Pearl(Magus Press, 2008); and Dying to Live: Life Sentence(Permuted Press, 2008).

I was just there, I have created an account there and they were rude to me and used profanity at me on their chatroom so I strongly suggest that no one should sign up for this site. It's just a bunch a rude kids with too much time on their hands.
OH dear, I hope your experience is not typical, as I know Venessa is a very diligent and responsible person.
i had a similar experience as Mitzi. The site seemed ok at first but i later realized it was overrun by wannabe communist kids who live in america and have no idea what it's like to live under communism. I had no problem with this for a while until i expressed my opinions and stated that i do not support communism. after that i was harassed by administrators, my group profile was altered without my knowledge and in the end i was told by one person that not everyone agrees with me and i should not say anything about communism, i was then told by another administrator that the site os run by communists and any anti communist remarks would not be tolerated. this site is a joke. if you wanna get sucked into a bunch of communist propaganda, by all means join up, but if you are not a communist and you actually want a site with good zombie topics, don't go here... this site might as well have been called "Spoiled rich kids unite to try and bring communism to america!"
I cannot understand for the life of me why any American kid would want to be a communist. Our troops are out there day in and day out busting their humps to keep our freedom and these ungrateful, spoiled kids want to start some kind of fake communist group? I'll tell ya, what, send all their butts over to Russia since they love it so much and leave their butts there. I'll bet that they'll want to come back to the States then but I don't think even Russia would want them. Also, I've noticed from what I've saw on their site that they're very anti-zombie. They'll tell you they're not but they are because all they talk about is eliminating zombies. This site is a cheap immitation of LostZombies.com.
If the troops are out there defending our "freedom," then they're defending our freedom to be communists, or socialists, or atheists, or whatever we want to be. That is the problem of living in a pluralistic society. If the troops were just defending Christendom, or the King, or whatever, things would be much easier to decide.
But, again, I don't really spend a lot of time on "zombie social networks," so I can't vouch for whether this one is good or not.
