Why does AIM hate me?

Started happening about an hour ago. At first, It wouldn't let me sign on at all... It threw "The service is temporarly unavalible try agian later" errors at me. Then, it let me sign in but it told me repeatedly, "You signed in but your buddy list and buddy icon are unavalible. try again later." Now, it keeps saying "You are attempting to sign on again too soon. please try again later" and it keeps giving me this message, even after 5 minutes of not trying to sign in. What the hell could this possibly be? Could it be possible that someone is trying to sabatoge my screenname by repeatedly trying to sign on to my account with a bad password somewhere else? Ideas? thanks...

I'm just guessing, but it sounds as though whatever server stores your account information is fuxored. It'll probably go away in a few hours.

Trillian cut out my AIM service a few times this morning, too. I wasn't using AIM though, so I don't know how often or how long, just that it was dead when I opened the app.

Of all the chat services, AIM is always the one that has to be the most troublesome for me with Trillian. I remember having that same problem when I was using AIM - it usually goes away after a while like Conner said.
