Deepbit is down along with other pools (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3889.msg570739#msg570739). As of right now, the chart shows over 50% of all mining power is in the 'other' category. See here: http://bitcoinwatch.com
Nobody is forking the chain are they?

No.  The 'other' category is all the blocks produced by miners not known to be associated to a pool, including all of the pools that bitcoinwatch is not yet aware of.  It doesn't, in fact, mean anything at all other than that more than 50% of the current hashing power is anonymous.
