It likely has something to do with the way the rooms are assigned and maintained. I'm not a coding expert, so it's hard to say. But a lot of the Wikia chats have issues with ghost users (who are probably from other Wikia chats) and the like, so I'd guess there are times where the chat code shits the bed. Again, no expert, but it might be that, as more Wikias begin and utilize the chats, the chat code has trouble keeping up with the chats when there are so many open and active. The outages seem to come at times when heavy Internet usage would be expected.
