The following was posted in Community Feedback by Manager Judy. I don't think it is a hoax. Not with the Washington Post doing a piece on it. I will let this group migrate over to Multiply since they will do it for free. As a manager I am supposed to be getting information on what all is going to happen and how to let any members that want to join know how they go about that. I am also looking at other sites. I have started Kat.Place at Gaia. It is pretty cool. You can make your own avatar. I am still trying to figure out how to start a group. I am looking at Google too. There is always Yahoo.

That letter has been posted here several times.  What is not being mentioned in groups where people are clinging to it for hope is that it dates back to 2007 when Windows Live Groups beta pages were briefly available online and the people who saw them flooded Contact with letters asking if MSN groups were becoming Windows Live Groups.    When you see that letter posted in a group, you would be doing the group's members a huge favor by posting that, while the letter is legitmate, it is a year old and no longer valid.  Then ask them to click the Feedback   link at the bottom of any groups page and write to Contact to inquire about the current status of groups.  They will get a very different answer.  This is not a hoax.  It is happening.
