SpecFic in NZ is pretty much dead. The only decent link was 9 years dead. Most of us kiwis running around looking for groups / communities, end up forming relationships with overseas groups, which is fantastic. But doesn’t little ol’ NZ need it’s own SpecFic zone? It sure does. SpecFicNZ is alive and growing. It is not released yet but we are looking for a few good kiwis interesting in joining the core group and helping us build up for a 2010 release. We’re doing this the right way. It takes time, energy, support and active membership. Learn about us here … Read entire article »
