Ducati.ms seems to have been less affected than DML. A lot of the old regulars jumped ship, but the site still remains for the most part. I think it came from a much less tight-knit grassroots community than DML. This is my observations, I was not a part of either in the beginnings.
If I remember correctly, Ducati.ms pre VS wasn't as unique as the DML in terms of user interface or number of members, or age, so it may not have been such a drastic transition.
