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 It seems the software we used, Spectrum2, is no longer maintained and not compatible with newer versions of Debian.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

Stability problems and ejabberd upgrade Feb. 10, 2017, 6:02 p.m. by mati

In Wednesday (February 8) we had severe stability problems with ejabberd, the software we use for our Jabber/XMPP server. Today we resorted to rebooting the server and upgrading ejabberd to the newest version (17.01) in the process. For now it seems the problems are solved, but we're keeping a close eye on this.
