As some of you are most certainly aware, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will come into force on May 25th, 2018. It is a major step forward for users of any service that handles privacy related data. Obviously, this services is affected by the GDPR too, so we'd like to take some time to give you an overview of your rights and what they mean in context of jabber.at.

In general, please be aware that

Deactivation of ICQ-Transport

Aug. 12, 2017, 11:39 a.m. by mati

We are sorry to announce that we no longer support our ICQ-Transport.

The ICQ-Transport has been dysfunctional since last Monday, when we upgraded our Servers to Debian 9.0. It seems the software we used, Spectrum2, is no longer maintained and not compatible with newer versions of Debian. We haven't been able to get the transport running again despite significant efforts on our part.

jabber.wien: End of life August 2018

June 10, 2017, 10:28 a.m. by mati

We have decided to stop offering jabber.wien accounts by August 2018 (that's more then a year from now).

A few years ago we registered the domain jabber.wien, but it had so few users that we eventually disabled registration again. By now there are less then 40 registered accounts, with only 10 used in the last month.
