Oachat.com are going to be offering a group service as part of there VIP Service which is similar to what was used on MSN Groups. OA VIP will soon cost £15, but this seems to look like an awesome project by the managers, something other chat sites such as Phreik have failed at in the past. OAChat has currently been leading the way in the IRCx web chat market with its new WebChat amazing many at its ease of use and stability unlike web chats seen at places like Buzzen and VSIXc.

The groups service will include most of the features MSN did including a dedicated chatroom, pictures, message boards, user permissions and My Groups. I say good luck with this project.

Cant wait to see what they come up with next why not vist http://wwww.Oachat.com today.

“The MSN Groups service has closed

As we first announced on October 23 2008, the MSN Groups service has closed.

If you would like to create a new group, we have established a partnership with Multiply - an online group and media sharing service that is tailored to the needs of larger groups. If you would like to create a small group of less than 1000 members, please visit Windows Live Groups.”

Can’t say I’m bothered that much MSN did turn into tumbleweed when they clode Paid sub and Group chat. However i do hope you have all find a new a home, do tell us about it if you have and will do our best to support your sites.

I would just like to thank everyone for being a member of the huge groups I ran and thank you to the many people who helped.

It’s easy to say I am the best groups manager ever, better then Deusbreakers ftw!
