Skype Down?
 

Is Skype down for you guys?

yep, mine is down as well.

So it's not just me...

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.

yes same here

dead like a stranded whale...

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

crashed twice on me and went offline when I finally got it back up.
Rebooted and now its up but most my contacts are offline.

Oh, yeah! That too!

Blame Microshaft :)

Yes it is.... :(

I think mine too.. Its logging on ok, showing friends, but not online :(

was down here like 30min... but now i see its back and i see people starting to come back online

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

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

Still down here :Oh crap

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

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

still dead from here

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

Same problem. :(

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

down down

Thanks Microsoft. It crashed often since they bought it.

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

down too

still messed up for you?

Yep still down, it's been around 2 hours now from here...

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

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!

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

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

Same here...

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:
