Temporary suspension of registration

Jan. 6, 2018, 1:11 p.m. by mati

We have decided to temporarily stop registration of new users to our services. We do not have a date for reopening registration, but we hope it will be soon.

In the past years we have seen an incredible growth of active users.

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 It seems the software we used, Spectrum2, is no longer maintained and not compatible with newer versions of Debian.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.

We're happy to announce that we have a new webchat, which makes it possible to use Jabber directly in your Browser. It's based on Converse.js and is still experimental. We hope for feedback from you!
