Migration to Prosody and Spectrum 2

Mainly because of performance issues we will migrate the server from ejabberd to Prosody in the next days or weeks. Also the Spectrum 1 transports will be migrated to Spectrum 2. To create the less disturbance possible we migrate everything to a new server machine.

Anyway there will be downtimes, because sometime we have to migrate the user data and switch the DNS records.

As you can imagine some things will change in the future, which is perfectly normal when using a complete different software. We will try to keep as many feature we offer today plus adding the benefits and features of the new software to the server.

We will keep you posted, this was just intended to be a first basic information.

Ideas, suggestions, questions? Write us! :-)

Certificate expired

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.

Help wanted

Do you want to contribute with content or content translation?

Unfortunally we don’t have as much time as we wish to have and also we don’t speak all the languages in which we want to offer this website. We are happy about any help you can offer us. ;-)

Purge of inactive users

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.

Inactive users statistics

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.

  • 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.
