Hello,
On 15th March 2013 we are retiring the existing Messenger service globally (except for mainland China where Messenger will continue to be available) and bringing the great features of Messenger and Skype together. Update to Skype and sign in using a Microsoft Account (same as your Messenger ID) and all your Messenger contacts will be at your fingertips. You'll be able to instant message and video chat with them just like before, and also discover new ways of staying in touch with Skype on your mobile and tablet.
Yours sincerely,
The Messenger Team
==========
Plus a load of gubbings afterwards.
I knew this was on the cards, saw something in the last 12 months after MS bought Skype. Best get my arse in gear and upgrade!
Bye bye Messenger, hello Skype
