   	I've seen something along these lines to happen with jabber.ru   
   	somewhat recently.  They have, however, since restored their   
   	conference service.

   	There seem to at least be furry at conference.jabber.org and   
   	furry at conference.jabber.ru, though the latter is for some   
   	reason hidden.  (And is reportedly predominantly Russian-speaking.)   
      
   	That said, I don't feel that XMPP allows for the amount of   
   	anonymity comparable to netnews (especially when posting via   
   	Mixmaster.)  That's great for job-related activities, or even   
   	for weeding out abuse off volunteer-driven technical support   
   	conferences, but for pretty much anything else, I'd rather   
   	prefer a Tor-accessible IRC service instead.  (Although I guess   
   	IRC will need a tweak or two for this to work really well.)
