Hi Flatft and welcome to the boards!
Let me answer both your questions.
1) Dementia has indeed left the show after 55 episodes. There was no bad blood or anything like that. I won't get too much into her private life, but basically, she's just getting out of grad school, and about to start working in the "real" world and just doesn't want to be on the show..which can tend to be racy, stupid, silly and marginally offensive at times 
as she moves on with her life. She's still one of my best friends and I see her almost daily, it was on the best of terms and we all wish her the best. She may be involved here and there. We may shoot a film this summer which she may be a part of, etc.
But basically, she's just moving on to another phase of her life and after 4-5 years, wanted to move on. We completely support her even though we will miss her greatly.
Her presence will still be felt on the show. I've written three "post Dementia" scripts so far and Dementia is mentioned in each and every one of them. Also, we will continue to play episodes she was in, Halloween, X-Mas specials, etc. And in fact, we have an episode coming up consisting of unseen stuff from other projects, etc that will have new Dementia footage in it (or new to air at least.)
While change can be scary, and obviously we understand that everyone loved Dementia very much, it can also be invigorating to the show. I've just written three scripts (which in itself is something...as after 5 years, I was writing some episodes days before we shot them and it showed) but the changes have sparked all new stories and ideas and I'm as happy with the new episodes as any we've done.
The next episode, ISLE OF THE DAMNED, will center around Dementia's leaving, the sale of Channel 666 by the Big Guy and introducing the new owner as well as Johnny's new co-host and Producer, Romania "Romy" Stanislov. I love the character of Romy, played by our own Salome, and hope you all will too. Just give her a chance! The next three episodes will really introduce her well I hope.
2) as for when will we post? Hopefully tomorrow night! I should be finishing our latest episode tomorrow afternoon. I got a little behind in my editing as I was doing some editing for Lloyd Kaufman/Troma, but that's all done now. ISLE OF THE DAMNED should be on youtube in a day or two and air within a week hopefully.
We then shoot a new episode on 4/25 which I will try to edit as soon as possible. And then another one a couple of weeks after that. There were some long delays between episodes due to many issues for the first half of this season (which has frankly been as long as 2 almost.) Alot of it was us just kind of losing focus after so many episodes, not getting them finished on shoot days--so episodes took months to finish, etc. But we've been back on our game with the new episodes and scripts we're filming and I hope we're putting out some classic WOWMS like that of the late 3rd/4th seasons
Also, I plan on really updating this site as well. It's been neglected for far too long.
Hope this has answered your questions. If not, let me know.
And again, while we will all miss Dementia, just give the new episodes a chance.
