Oh, no! Mine is down also. All I get is the "Offline" balloon and the program will not allow me to change to "Available". This is fucked up for sure.

**BoardiesBitch** · 06-07-2011, 03:31 AM

**Seth Manson** · 06-07-2011, 03:53 AM

Sorry, I'll turn off my new Skype spammer. I seemed to have caused a shitload of network lag.

**Jon Oso** · 06-07-2011, 03:55 AM

I can't even get it to open on my netbook.

**sponsorpimp** · 06-07-2011, 03:57 AM

Still down here

**AdultKing** · 06-07-2011, 04:13 AM

Yep Microsoft let their gremlins into the building, news at 11

**Zuzana Designs** · 06-07-2011, 04:21 AM

It's been up and down for me all morning.

**SZNY** · 06-07-2011, 04:25 AM

Why did Microsoft buy SKYPE for $8.5B when they could just download it for free?

**cykoe6** · 06-07-2011, 04:28 AM

Same problem.

**Falabala** · 06-07-2011, 04:36 AM

http://heartbeat.skype.com/ For some of us it's still a little bit messy.

**elmy** · 06-07-2011, 04:40 AM

down down

**sbrazzer** · 06-07-2011, 04:45 AM

Thanks Microsoft. It crashed often since they bought it.

**fatfoo** · 06-07-2011, 04:53 AM

It's unfortunate that Skype is down. The technical issues should be resolved as soon as possible.

**Roby** · 06-07-2011, 04:57 AM

**florin** · 06-07-2011, 05:03 AM

I like they say its a small problem and a few are affected seems like its more than a few.

**WinstonTriplexcash** · 06-07-2011, 05:30 AM

Im in but everyone seems to be offline - or maybe they need to update like i did.

Restart the application, it'll ask you to install an update, then reboot.

Hope to see some of you back!

**Sid70** · 06-07-2011, 05:32 AM

ICQ sucks , Skype seemed to be good. Now feels like back to MSN.

It's a few compared to the total userbase, yes... You tend to use different meanings for words once you reach a certain amount of popularity.

I agree. they mess up everything. Skype was down for me too

**Shey** · 06-07-2011, 05:41 AM

Kill all skype processes and restart, that seems to help. I'm on but only a couple people in my list are signed in.

There is a decent size sample here considering its GFY and I have seen 1-2 people saying they have no or few problems.
So out of the people reading and posting on GFY you have 10 people saying there is a problem and 1-2 saying none to a few problems.
From that I draw the conclusion its a major problem when 80+% of the people I talk to about this says they have a problem.
I know its a small sample but we are not talking a +-10/20% here, we talk 60-90% in favor of problems so I tend to favor the side saying Skype have serious issues right now.

I back up my points with these:
