XMPP: What It Is And How to Get It.
"The Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) is an open technology for real-time communication, which powers a wide range of applications including instant messaging, presence, multi-party chat, voice and video calls, collaboration, lightweight middleware, content syndication, and generalized routing of XML data. The technology pages provide more information about the various XMPP “building blocks”. Several books about Jabber/XMPP technologies are available, as well."
What does that mean for me? What about Chatango?
As of Sept. 11th 2013, I, Eahil, have deemed XMPP a more suitable chat client to be operating with/on/through to connect to individuals seeking "enlightenment" of some kind, as well as collaborated research into general subject matter. Chatango will be chatango, and it's still a widely used chat client, but XMPP far trumps chatango for a number of reasons that are not just client based. In addition to the use of XMPP, I am (as of my knowledge on this day), the only one who actually uses a Linux distribution (specifically Archlinux) as my primary OS (operating system). Flash is once again depreciated (not in use) on Linux based systems for whatever forsaken reason.
But that is not the reason why XMPP is being used as a chat medium. In addition to being far more easier to code bots for, and being a far more effective means of communication by the lack of lag, the almost instant access (as soon as you log in to your computer), and far greater security (as well as being able to run behind a proxy) it appears in this case, as a much more useful, and much more universal medium for communication.
tl;dr:
It is open source and awesome. :D!

How to get it...?
- Get a jabb3r.net account.
- Get pidgin.
- The protocol is XMPP.
- The username is the id before @jabb3r.net.
- The domain is jabb3r.net
- The resource is whatever you'd like to call your computer.
- The password is the password you used to sign up for jabb3r.net.
Who to contact
Now, that you've got XMPP, here are the the two people who you can contact. I, of course, will generally be on at all times, but I might not get back to you immediately because more imperative shit such as fucking girlfriend takes p residence over everything. However, I believe that I can be of some help.
