MUC support in Exodus is available in the Exodus daily releases, until
the next stable release is performed. Check out
http://exodus.jabberstudio.org/daily/ if you want to test one of the
daily releases.

Alternatively, tkabber (A TCL client, available at
http://www.jabber.ru/projects/tkabber/index_en.html) also supports the
MUC protocol. If you wish to test this, simply grab the file along with
a copy of ActiveState TCL. Its a lightweight, crossplatform client,
which is extendable.

There isn't a way to remove rooms with roommaker, as it is much better
to be done via a client like Exodus. The reason is that the client
method doesn't require you to restart the service everytime you make a
change to a persistent room. Even rooms created with roommaker require a
service restart, which is why room creation/modification/deletion is
best done via a client.

If you are seeing that message, it means that you are using a client
which isn't MUC compliant. As soon as you start using a compliant
client, the message will disappear. The fact that users won't recognise
it was part of the reasoning behind the message - users ask either the
admin or client writer what it means and so try to update to a client
which can make use of all the features. I can write a config switch to
disable this, if you wish.
