So, I tried to get into chat today only to get a connection timeout.
I figured it might be my connection, but isup.me is also saying that chat.stackexchange.com is down:

(Note: I added a freehand circle because those are mandatory on Meta.)

I should probably note that I was following a link from my inbox to chat, so there's not really a chance I got the wrong domain by accident.– PowerlordCommented Apr 15, 2015 at 13:23

1Yeah. It's down for me, too. I was in chat when it happened.– Thomas OwensCommented Apr 15, 2015 at 13:23

3+1 for "Note: I added a freehand circle because those are mandatory on Meta."– M.A.R.Commented Apr 15, 2015 at 13:24

BTW, I was in two chats when it happened.– M.A.R.Commented Apr 15, 2015 at 13:24

All three chat-servers (chat.so, chat.se, chat.meta.se) are currently down from what I can see– Vogel612's ShadowCommented Apr 15, 2015 at 13:24

maybe adding an answer for that was overkill...– Vogel612's ShadowCommented Apr 15, 2015 at 13:26

@ratchetfreak Good. I checked StackStatus's twitter before posting this, their last post at that point was from a few days ago.– PowerlordCommented Apr 15, 2015 at 13:27

3Chat is back on, so it seems.– M.A.R.Commented Apr 15, 2015 at 13:27

@MARamezani In that case, I'm voting to close my own question as off-topic, no longer reproducible.– PowerlordCommented Apr 15, 2015 at 13:32

Good call @Powerlord, but you might wait for one of the SE guys to explain this a little bit. Maybe we'll see such failures in the future?– M.A.R.Commented Apr 15, 2015 at 13:47

@MARamezani diamond gives the ability to answer even a closed question, so that won't stop them from posting such explanation. Ninja edit: such a diamond just put the final closing seal on the question. :)– Shadow WizardCommented Apr 15, 2015 at 14:11

@Shadow I think they'll be explaining this in six to eight weeks.– M.A.R.Commented Apr 15, 2015 at 14:16

@MARamezani well, they posted on twitter - "flogged the lazy hamsters and issued demerits accordingly" sounds like a reasonable explanation... :D– Shadow WizardCommented Apr 15, 2015 at 14:18
