When Karkat checks his Trollian window, at first he doesn't notice the problem. His service still works--the infinite range web connectivity Sgrub gave his computers is the backbone of the whole system--and it takes him a minute to realize that the deafening silence is significant.
His assumption is that something has finally eaten his server, or it fell in a hole, or something. That is the difficulty of turning it loose to fend for itself, but it really never occurred to him not to. Troll logic.
Anyway, it's easy to fix; he just looks it up in the aetheneum and alchemizes a new one. He corrects the bug in his code before he turns it loose this time.
T-Minus is back up and running. But--because he is the carcinoGeneticist, and mutation is his calling card--there is a new, unplanned feature. Which is actually an old feature Karkat deliberately disabled. When the T Minus units boot back up, the timeline feature is available. It lists an individual timeline for every user; in theory you could message someone at any point along that timeline, but that feature remains disabled, so the timeline is more or less useless.
Ominous, but useless. If you scroll up far enough into the future... there isn't one.
[OOC: Not in the bar, but he is available by T Minus now that it's back up.]
