As of Sunday, April 5 ChatterboxTown.US made the switchover to the new server. This update unfortunately was unable to carry over user data. So, many announcements before hand were made giving users options to either move to a different service provider, or register their current JID to the new server during its staging phase. We are now fully online and many of you who have pre-registered should have been able to log in seamlessly. For those, who did not pre-register, there is still a good chance that your JID is still available for you to register.

The version this server is currently running will eventually become incompatible with the rest of the XMPP network and XMPP clients (many are already experiencing this with the Conversations app not being able to log in). Unfortunately, attempts to migrate the data to the new server is failing. Unless the package maintainer of this software updates the repo for the operating system, I am strongly advising that you start planning on moving your accounts to a different service provider as this service will eventually fizzle out. The sooner I can see the active users drop to nothing, the sooner I can launch the updated server and maybe you might consider re-registering again. Do not register to this server unless you see version 26.02 or higher as the server version shown on the web page.

It appears that the network storage that handles the file attachments became offline at around 5AM PST. At this time storage connectivity has been restored and should be functioning normally.

Hello ChatterboxTown.US community!

I hope this season finds you healthy, happy, and safe. Thank you all for making ChatterboxTown.US an active and growing service. While there was already a plethora of XMPP service providers out there, many were based in Europe with rather specific themes and target communities: like cyberpunk, hacker, clandestine, rave/party, etc. My intention for this service was to be a US based XMPP provider with a more general/generic public image. Not too long after, being a user of JMP.chat myself, I was asked to cooperate with their project as their default public XMPP service provider. From that point on, registrations grew. After 3 years of operation the current server resources are nearing depletion and I have begun the process of migrating to the next tier server. I do enjoy maintaining this service as a free service to the public. But, as we continue to grow, I will be more dependent on the community's generosity. I only petition those who have been using this service for at least a year to consider contributing to the operations for this next year by donating a single amount or a small monthly donation using the options at this link https://chatterboxtown.us/#donate

Thank you for considering!
