This is in the wrong place, but to repeat what I said elsewhere:
Lots of people are having this problem. It is not unique to third-party clients, as we can't get our buddy lists on their website or the main AIM client. The error message I saw in Pidgin has been linked to problems with server connectivity. Since the new version of AIM has enough new features to require an update to continue using it (I think Facebook Connect is the big change), I'm guessing a careless person has disconnected, disabled, or wiped the server that hosts the buddy lists.
To end on the same note I did elsewhere, this is why we have deployment testing.
