There's nothing stopping anyone from running a Jabber server themselves, even on their home PC if they were so inclined. I wanted to give you guys a good service that would always be up and updated and so on... but because of crap like the provider going down repeatedly despite 99% uptime claims and my lack of time, I don't really feel comfortable attempting to offer the service when there's no way I can have it at a decent enough level. And hardly anyone was using it anymore anyways.
