This service is mainly a simple [[Notifications|notification]] and anidb pm forward function implemented into jabber. This way you don't need to run additional software if you are already running a multinetwork Instant Messanger ([http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/ Trillian], [http://www.miranda-im.org/ Miranda], ...) or a standalone jabber client.

===General Information===
To minimize the server load the AniDB Jabber Server will only send notifications and messages to users who are subscribed <b>AND</b> online. However, the AniDB Jabber Server will only be able to tell whether you are online or not, if you permit it to add you to it's contact list. You can check your current status with the <b>status</b> command. If your status is not listed as <b>ONLINE</b>, you will not receive any notifications/messages.
You can use the <b>reactivate</b> command to tell the AniDB Jabber Server to re-add you to it's contact list, should you for some reason have failed to grant it's first attempt.
Note that all actions are handed in batch jobs which can lead to a delay of one to five minutes, depending on the action. <i>(i.e. your online status will not be updated in realtime)</i>

Will we add more features/commands?
Maybe, that depends on the demand. We might add support for most of Chii[AR]'s commands someday if there is enough interest among the AniDB userbase.
