The Jabber.org IM service has instituted a new account registration policy. Until further notice, IM accounts can be registered only via the web at register.jabber.org, which means that our longtime practice of allowing in-band registration using an IM client has been disabled.
You will notice that register.jabber.org requires you to complete a “CAPTCHA” test in order to create an account. This is a security measure to help prevent bulk account creation by automated processes. We might deploy further account security measures in the future, and will announce any such changes at the jabber.org website.
