Part of this can be blamed on the fact that the JSF server list totally sucks.
It only tells you about the components each server has, and nothing about
userbase, availability, throughput, etc, of said server. Nor does it give
any details about who is running the server or even a way to reach the admin,
so you don't know if it is a "fly-by-night" server that is going to be gone
the next day.
When people are first introduced to Jabber, I think they either pick
jabber.org or a server with the coolest sounding name, and then they are
disappointed with the selected server's reliability, speed, etc and end up
switching servers soon after. The JSF website needs to stop giving bad
recommendations so these problems never happen in the first place. In my
opinion, we need much stronger requirements for getting listed on the "Public
Servers" page.
Good idea. I'm sure that if someone would give a list with this information
to the jabber.org webmaster, it could certainly be added.
