Flockmod basics:

Flockmod is an online interactive drawing board that started off as a modified version of Flockdraw. It has since grown to become its own fully-fledged application which is now hosted on its own servers, no longer depending on Flockdraw (now defunct due to flash end of life) to operate. Flockmod is founded and hosted by FDT and developed by auto.

Yes! However there is a donation page set up if you would like to contribute to Flockmod’s server costs.
