Our jabber server certificate is currently expired.
Unfortunately this expiration date was not correctly set in our schedule and hits us now in a time where Roi is in his well-deserved vacation.
He will update the certificate next week once he is back.
Sorry for all the inconvenience.
The deletion of inactive users from the Jabber server and all Spectrum based transports will take today or tomorrow.
We will delete all users who did not login one year or longer. Also we will delete all users who did not login after the creation of their accounts. This could also affect users who did register less than a year ago. So if you registered and did not login since then you have to reregister again.
Again, we have an exclude list. If you want to have your account on the exclude list, contact us and tell us why.
To show why we will clear up the databases here some statistics:
We just picked out the big players on our server for this blog article.
The first number are total users, the second number are the users, who did not login within the last 365 days.
The only service with mostly active users seems to be the Facebook Transport.
We noticed that buddies in Jabber roster are now renamed into the original names from the legacy networks, e.g. ICQ or Facebook.
This affects just local transport users as remote roster only works on the same server.
Sorry about that… But now the rosters are synced and renaming the contacts will also rename the contacts in the legacy network roster. If renaming in the legacy network is not supported the databases of Jabber and the transport service are synced anyway.
We experienced problems with ICQ transport the last days. According to the developers of Spectrum this is a “glib poll” issue. epoll unfortunally does not work with glib (yet).
Therefore Spectrum ICQ transport now uses libev3 and epoll.
It looks good at the moment, I hope it stays that way. We will see what happens during the next days as our server is the only server which runs this configuration. Not even the Spectrum developers were able to test it, yet. 
We just restarted the server to activate Remote roster. What is that?
What’s Remote roster?
Remote roster is protoXEP which allows your server to synchronize legacy network contact list with your users’ rosters. Currently it works only for local users (users registered on the same server which supports this protoXEP). It’s available for Ejabberd 2.1.x and Prosody.
Why should I use it?
It allows to your users following features:
- When they register their account and login for first time, they won’t receive lots of subscribe presences or Roster Item Exchanged stanza. All their legacy network buddies just appear in their roster with proper groups and nicknames.
- When they will unregistering their account, buddies are just removed from their rosters without need of unsubscribing them.
- When they rename some buddy in their Jabber roster, it’s renamed also in legacy network.
- When they move some buddy into different groups, it’s moved also in legacy network.
- All changes made in legacy network when transport is disconnected are synchronized with Jabber account once they become online in Jabber.
Taken from Spectrum website.
Since today there is a new transport online: Identi.ca
The JID is identica.jabber.hot-chilli.net.
Have fun with it! 
Sorry for posting just now. Facebook transport was blocked for Facebook use only on the day we posted about it, which means October 6th. We did not delete the old contacts for local users, as the user should get unsubscribe messages as all other users. If you still have old users in your roster, please delete these entries manually.
The second XMPP transport is online since since October 6th as promised.
