That's not entirely true. The main thing of value was the client news, Jabber news, and user posts. These *were* being updated post 2000, right up until it was closed down, as I remember the discussion well. I kept the section on Yabber fairly up to date, and that wasn't developed until 2001. > I never owned or ran JabberCentral, though I did write almost all the > content and posted the news stories and, wow, that sounds familiar. > Anyone is free to create their own end-user sites.

There were several offers to take over running the site in the forums, and I sent Justin some IM's and (I think) emails on the subject - with no reply. The only answer I can remember is that Peter was going to integrate it into jabber.org and it seemed to be a done deal. Anyway, that's in the past. Maybe now there seems to be a demand for something similar it can be resurrected under the same or different domain.
