Once upon a time, there was a Jabber Server on Metafilter... I love the new features. I just want an old one back. Matt, please hope me. I remember back in 04 (was it 04? Could it have been in 03?) when you turned on the Jabber server. Suddenly, the community was instantly live. Didn't want to talk to someone? Ignore them. Wanted to be available for chat? Logon. But it broke other stuff. And the hardworking mathowie said, "Verily, unto ye, someday soon, maybe, if thou art good, you could stop wandering the desert and have it back." So, um, could we have it back? Please? I don't want to have to build a golden calf.

Jabber server
Matt - long term plans? Big promotion on the blue? Something in the sidebar? I'd assume only the geekiest are actually using it (while it's fairly simple to use, it's not common knowledge.)

Announcing the Jabber server.

Thanks for the MeFi Jabber server

I'd just like to thank mathowie for fulfilling my pony request for a mefi jabber server.

Testing out MeFi jabber

I'm testing out a jabber server on MetaFilter. Use any jabber client (iChat, adium, trillian, gAIM, etc) to connect to metafilter.com. Enter your username as your_mefi_username@metafilter.com and your password is your existing website password here. Once logged in, you can IM other members that are online (my current status: ). Oh, this jabber server supports SSL for encrypted chat by default and also lets you talk to jabber users on other servers, including Google Talk (just add them to your buddy list). If this works out, I'll be experimenting with more features like chatrooms and perhaps allowing chat with Yahoo and MSN users as well. Let me know how it works for you, everyone that is a member here already has a login to the jabber server, automatically.
