Welcome to Inflecto.org We are finally back up and running. Someone hacked the old server and crashed everything. I build a new server with all new software.
So far, so good, everything seems to be back online; with the exception of the user accounts (inflecto.org site and the Openfire XMPP IM Server). It was impossible to recover anything. All data was a total loss.
It will be necessary for everyone to recreate their accounts (inflecto.org site and the Openfire XMPP IM Server).

Inflecto.org was created September 30,2005. My intention at the time, was to use inflecto.org as a private XMPP (Jabber) instant messaging server. To be exclusively used by my family and close friends. The entire reasoning behind this was to supply a spam free for of communication via instant messaging. At the time (back in 2005) all we really had for instant messaging was Yahoo’s IM, MSN, and who can for get good old ICQ. We also had Several IRC servers and Chat clients out there for IRC but IRC hasn’t ever been very user friendly.
I started looking way back in 1997 for a good instant messaging server that I could run on my own private home server. It wasn’t until around 2003 that i stumbled on the Jabber project and wow I thought I had finally found what I was looking for. Turned out that back in the day there where several variations of the XMPP server ie Jabber server and they where all very hard to install and configure. Most where Linux only and at the time I knew nothing about Linux witch of course left me few option in windows.
After Having Problem with this for years trying on version after another on windows. I was getting very frustrated. Even if I could get a server up and running I couldn’t keep it running very long. Some of the reasons for this were the hi expense and unreliability of windows.
A good friend of mine Lonewolf, who had been playing with Linux SUSE talked me into setting up my first Linux box back in 2004 and installing Jabber on it. This turned out to be the best thing I ever did in computing. Although SUSE turned out to be way to bulky to run a server on.
