Count us as one of the ones that switched away from HipChat due to reliability issues. And I mean daily issues. We actually used our own in-house IRC server before but switched to HipChat because we didn't want to manage it anymore. It was cheaper and there were fewer problems with that IRC server. We finally switched away from HipChat to Slack to have a usable chat system and it's been great. We gave HipChat a chance and reported issues regularly, but they seem to be making no progress on reliability.

StatusPage is a great company and service, so this is really disappointing news in my book. HipChat was great before Atlassian bought it.
