The server admins think it's irresponsibility at work to continue allowing unencrypted connections so that anyone can eavesdrop on your conversations. We've had SSL since 1999 and TLS upgrade since 2004. It's time for client developers to support that as the default. This one-week experiment is a forcing function. > No offense, but i'm so glad i switched to another jabber server when you guys > got instability problems on your "super super bunker double piped stable > server" :-/ > > i'm disappointed I'm disappointed that so many users care so little about security. I agree that we could have communicated more clearly, but remember that we don't have email addresses on file for our users. Next time we try this, we'll send out a message broadcast a week or two before the test.
