It was Argroww's thread, and the next actions of all but one of the characters/NPCs I have in that thread are dependent upon what one or more of Argroww's characters are going to do, not to mention the arrival of the Wolvaris. Unfortunately, unless you've gotten permission from Argroww to pick up the slack, which I haven't been informed of by Argroww, then yes, the thread is, for all intents and purposes, dead.
As to Gawfy, I haven't heard any more than you have, so you'd have to ask them directly.
Wrathwyrm does have a point, though. This is probably something that should have been asked via PMs to myself and Gawfy.
