[Chat/Message Boards] Message Board Removal Feedback
Feedback regarding the removal of message boards from Fantasy Baseball in the 2023 season.
Fantasy league message boards are not going to be available for the current season however you can still access historical message board posts through your fantasy profile. You can continue to communicate with your league via Fantasy Chat, email and commissioner notes. Moving forward we are investing in chat as the best place for league communication and will be adding threading, pinning, polls and more. We welcome your feedback below about how your league used message boards to help us make future improvements.

Thanks for nothing Yahoo! My long time league is falling apart because of cancelling the message board. If your goal is to lose customers, you are succeeding. This is "moving forward" like Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg. This is a fiasco! This is a disaster! WE NEED THE MESSAGE BOARD BROUGHT BACK ASAP!

Another poor decision. Between the lack of customization on Yahoo, making Ohtani 2 players (ridiculous) and now removing message boards, its like Yahoo is trying to drive Fantasy players away. I have already had 2 leagues shift to other platforms and now have to strongly consider moving my 18 year hometown league off Yahoo because of the shortcomings and Yahoos own self sabotage....

It's an end of an era.
Sadly, we just deleted our 15 year dynasty leagues after transferring to Fantrax.
Will be doing the same with my Hockey leagues next season.
The writing is on the wall, Yahoo has made it impossible to run a league on their platform and Fantrax is now the #1 place to be for fantasy sports. Especially keepers and dynasty leagues.
We couldn't he happier, and wish we did it sooner. -

No message boards? If there's no message boards for Football I'll probably move to a different site, this is stupid.

The message board was used to communicate to all the others team members in our league regarding the league set up and on going for the league. I don't see any benefits in having it removed. If there is a benefit in having it removed I sure would like to know what it is? I sure a lot of others have the same question that run leagues using the Yahoo site. I can see Yahoo losing league to other formats.

I guess Yahoo! doesn't give a **** about their customers. I just found out about this after drafting. I may just say F it and quit Yahoo! forever.

Post on this thread too ^^^
Let's push multiple threads about this to the Top 10.
The title of this thread is merely "Removal Feedback"
Getting the title of the thread linked above ("Bring Back Message Boards") into the Top 10 sends a stronger message that Yahoo has intentionally screwed over its users

The message board was a must in communicating to the league by the commissioner and team to team. From what others have said there’s a message board if you use the app. Don’t know if that’s true. The app absolutely suck to play any fantasy sport on and if I have to use the app. I’ll just go elsewhere to play. If it’s not back by fantasy football season I’ll be gone anyway

Just bring them back. Little purple box is too much a pain in Fantasy leagues especially keepers

What the **** are you doing, Yahoo?? Why remove it with no warning after all these years of using the **** league message board? I’m regretting all those time I recommended yahoo over ESPN for fantasy sports. I have no idea how many teams in my league are actually participating this season. This was really dumb.

I shouldn't have to go to the app to chat when i work mostly from my PC. I am CERTAIN my league members feel this way. 1 year ago communication flowed wonderfully between the commish and members. I have NO CLUE how many members are seeing my messages this year. I hope the driver behind this decision doesn't paly fantasy sports otherwise..........

It's crazy to me that you removed this with no warning before the season started. This was how we communicated and now half my league missed the draft announcement and we probably will have to auto draft for the first time ever.

Why was league chat disabled? This was the dumbest thing you've ever done. A bunch of people sending DMs is not conductive to a healthy league. People want to chat on different topics and have it open to anyone in the league to respond. Discuss baseball as well, as a GROUP! Just idiotic to get rid of them.

Mike Henson commented
You've had plenty of time to review responses and your lack of judgement is bound to send fantasy players to other sites en masse. I suspect next year's leagues to diminish by huge amounts and you should too. I'm surprised you haven't noticed the angry mob outside your office with pitchforks.

Awful decision. The message board was the only way our league communicated with each other. This is a severe hinderance in running the league. We have always been happy here at Yahoo, but this move has us exploring different sites to run our league.
Incredibly horrible decision.

I have yet to find a positive response - the volume of input speaks, hhhmmmmm - volumes

you good people put the cart before the horse - you should have been asking the leagues how we utilized message boards - Im certain you would have found they are CRITICAL - For God's sake - just think of being in a league with managers in FL, ME, HI and CA - nevermind US, Canada, Germany - etc - silly move IMO
