Where is the Jabber server?

Any news about the MeFi Jabber server? Are we ever going to get it back?

I've changed some server setup stuff in the past week in an effort to make it stable again. Unfortunately, the jabber server was bringing the web server down every couple days so I've needed a couple weeks to see how well the server does without the jabber server running.

I'll see how this week goes and bring it back if things are working well at the end.

Cool, thanks Matt, I know I'm not the only one missing it. :(

I went into the chat room the day Matt set up the server, and I already felt like I was butting into an exclusive club.

Did we ever get a solution for people with apostrophes in their usernames?

That is how you know you are on the right jabber server! Also, I too miss it.

You guys would have a hell of a lot more fun in #tapes, I'll tell you that right now.

Those of you who lived, anyway.

Well, naturally there's going to be a bit of a "falling-off" period, but the survival rate is AT LEAST two per-cent.

I won't go on #tapes unless TwelveTwo is on there. Where he goes, I go.

Wait, if your not in #tapes, who is the guy calling himself TwelveTwo in there?

Yeah, I think #tapes and #metachat are both more fun than the Jabber server when I visited it.

that says way more about you than it does the chatroom.

It also says something about butts. And in.

In-butts, I guess is what I'm saying.

#metachat would be more fun if they didn't have that stupid habit of kicking idlers. Great way to have a dead channel half the time MORANS
