It's official, CodingFutures have dumped support for Zombaio. CCBill is on the way out too. Reassuring, eh? I guess that's one way to solve problems! I wonder which one they will dump next and leave all their users in the lurch?
As far as I can tell, YM Zombaio doesn't offer much more than Zombaio's own basic method which protects a simple members area directory. Not sure I even see the point of it. I believe YM Zombaio was written by Barry, an ex-employee, so not sure who supports it.
Discontinuing support for Zombaio

It?s always sad to remove things from Your Members but we are removing support for Zombaio and CCBill both payment gateways require additional steps to work correctly. Both are designed to be used with their own membership software and the way we use them are becoming less and less supported. Other the last few months we have had an increasing number of issues with Zombaio, and while many customers are happily running Zombaio based YM sites more and more we are finding strange random users not having their payment purchased. As such and with little assistance coming from Zombaio we will be removing support as of YM12.2 release.
For those currently using Zombaio the gateway will continue to work with YM12.2 but will not be officially supported beyond YM13, we will be looking at launching Epoch with YM12.2 and continue to support CCBill in the next release and will encourage people to migrate to an alternate payment system. We will continue to work to support the existing gateway until the launch of YM13.
If you are unable to migrate from Zombaio, we suggest taking a look at wp-zombaio written by a former developer on Your Members it is a WordPress implementation of the existing, obviously its not a fully featured membership system but does provide.
