Anyone else having problems with AIM and AIM services?

[Force Flow]

I and several people I am in contact with are experiencing random disconnects from the AIM service, and when they try to log back on, it either fails to connect or nobody on their buddy list is listed as active.

This occurrs on dial-up as well as broadband.

About a week ago I completely lost AIM services. But within a day it was back to normal. I thought I had dorked up my password since I was tinkering with the settings. Several other buddies of mine told me through YahooChat that they could not access AIM either. Other than my own personal experience I hav heard nothing online or in the news.

I've also been having problems with this.

But I use Trillian so I don't have this problem.

I get basically the same thing when I try using trillian, which leads me to belive it's the AIM service, not the program provided by AOL.
