Looks like they are more than just 'still out here'. Sounds like they are in the midst of a revival of interest and an influx of a new community.
I'd never heard of zzt before today. It appears to be a way to make text games of some sort, a la Zork I imagine? In July I will be reading the Twisty Little Passages book, and I think I may have found the software to use while going through the book.
EDIT: nope. ddg shows it does some sort of top down map with enemies etc. Closer to a 'retro Game Maker 7' or Clonk style game. That shows me for thinking I can infer what zzt is just from that page. Sounds like I'm better off with twine, inform, ren'py, or inky after all.
The page linked was targetted to community oldbies who haven't been around for the last few years and the revival of the scene. If you're new to ZZT, try https://museumofzzt.com/about-zzt instead.
