We just upgraded ejabberd to 2.1.10. Therefore the service was down for some minutes. Everything should be up and running again.

Purge of inactive users
Wednesday, September 21st, 2011, 08:14 by RoiThe 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.
Inactive users statistics
Wednesday, September 14th, 2011, 08:45 by RoiTo 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.
- jabber.hot-chilli.net: 20130 / 11480 (4116 of these users never logged in)
- aim.jabber.hot-chilli.net: 1379 / 875
- facebook.jabber.hot-chilli.net: 1729 / 46
- icq.jabber.hot-chilli.net: 4051 / 1930
- j2j.jabber.hot-chilli.net: 12903 / 10317
- msn.jabber.hot-chilli.net: 9652 / 3330
- yahoo.jabber.hot-chilli.net: 4548 / 2097
The only service with mostly active users seems to be the Facebook Transport.
Clearing up inactive users
Wednesday, September 14th, 2011, 08:29 by RoiIn the next days we will implement script to delete inactive users from our databases (Jabber server and Transport services). Most users in our databases are inactive so we want to get rid of them. This reduces the overhead and leads to better usage statistics. Also it is freeing up usernames which can be registered again by new users.
There will be an exclude list. If you think your username should be on the exclude list, please get in touch with us and tell us why. 
As soon as the deletion jobs are ready to run the first time we will announce this about a day in advance.
Upgrade to ejabberd 2.1.6
Thursday, March 24th, 2011, 22:51 by RoiFinally the Debian package for ejabberd 2.1.6 is available. Therefore we will perform an upgrade to ejabberd 2.1.6 in the next minutes. There will be a short service outage.
IPv6 reconfiguration
Friday, September 24th, 2010, 12:27 by RoiSince our provider now supports native IPv6 (including reverse DNS) we changed our IPv6 configuration and now no longer use an IPv6 Tunnel Broker. Therefore we had two short service outages today to reboot the machine and activate the new settings.
If you are using IPv6 you might have to flush your DNS (or wait up to 24 hours from now) to get the correct IPs back from DNS.

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010, 07:33 by RoiDuring this night (CEST) we upgraded the Jabber server to ejabberd 2.1.5 – this time the Debian package came available very soon.

Thursday, July 29th, 2010, 20:39 by RoiAt about noon CEST today I just upgraded the server to ejabberd 2.1.4, which is a bugfixing release. Finally the Debian package is available. Sorry for the less than five minute short service downtime.
