MSN closing groups

MSN is closing yet another of their sub feature. They had closed MSN Chat. This time it is MSN Groups. What will be next? While I do think MSN Groups lack of any improvement that it doesn't matter that it will close. Limited space and inflexible for managing message board. But to those with a community built, this closing is very sudden. Moderators are given option to migrate to Multiply. So wonder how different it would be. And will all the pics get transfered over? I doubt it. Start frmo scratch. If that is the case, might as well try some other free community sites.
