One part hacker, one part farmer.

BinaryRedneck.net Jabber users, read up!

Several weeks from now, I plan to move my personal web site and associated services to a new server. This means higher reliability for my users (especially jabber users), and some re-organization on my part, as I just realized exactly how many users I have accumulated over time. To help me get things in order before the move, I sent a short questionnaire out to the jabber users for whom I have email addresses. Unfortunately, I only have current contact information for about 1/4 of the binaryredneck.net jabber users.

If your jabber ID ends in @jabber.binaryredneck.net, please drop me an email (using the contact form if you don't have my email address) with answers to the following:

What is your JID (Jabber ID) @jabber.binaryredneck.net?

Are you still interested in your jabber account on BinaryRedneck.net?(If not, skip the rest, I'll just delete your JID.)

Are you interested in the AIM transport (being able to message AIM users from your jabber account)?

Are you interested in the Yahoo transport (being able to message Yahoo IM users from your jabber account)?

Are you interested in the MSN transport (being able to message MSN users from your jabber account)?

Do you prefer to keep the current name@jabber.binaryredneck.net format, or move to name@binaryredneck.net? Why?

Would it bother you if I required jabber users to submit their email address to a list so that I can send these kinds of updates more easily? The list would never be shared or used for other purposes, and the emails would be occasional.

Does your client of choice have MOTD (Message Of The Day) support? (If you aren't sure, just tell me what client you use.)

Do you prefer to get updates by email, RSS, Jabber MOTD or an automated Jabber IM?

Thanks in advance for your input.
