[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.

    This was a general place for many of my leagues, where people used the web version, to keep in contact.

    The messaging system sucks. OK - that's too much credit. At its best, it sucks. It's a mess of old transactions and people trying to figure out what the **** is going one with messages. My leagues were probably going before you were born.

    A lot of people still use the web based version of this to manage leagues. It's much better, more consistent, and more reasonable than the phone apps.

    Just put it back. How much is it killing you to have convenient features that you, personally, may not use.

    It's the age-old problem of people creating UI's that aren't actually users.

    If you're going to have functionality, it should also be available through the website and not just the app. Some of us still use computers. If Fantasy Chat is the future, please add a way to do it via the website in addition to the app.

    We used message boards for *everything*, including Keeper rules and declaring Keepers (our league has always required Keepers be named before the league trade deadline, not the next season). Public naming of Keepers always prevented disputes about who the real Keepers were. Unless the chat tool is going to be permanently published, this is a terrible change, undermining Yahoo’s long-standing advantage of flexibility.

    This is beyond idiotic. Who made this decision?

  • J Jack Elder commented  ·   ·  Report

    Your fantasy baseball writers now get more complaints about closing the message board than questions about their opinions. That should tell you something. And come fantasy football, this hailstorm of complaints will turn into a dungstorm. Hide and watch!

    Bring back message boards. Insane. Chat is garbage! Keeper leagues really use message boards. ALLOW LEAGUES THE OPPORTUNITY.

  • J Jack Elder commented  ·   ·  Report

    This has become so annoying that Yahoo fantasy sports writers are being asked one question totally unrelated to their Sleepers, Overrateds, Underrateds, Next in line Closers stories. That question is "What did your employer do with our message board? Does it's elimination not make you wonder about despite your years of loyal service, your job might me next?"

    Wait for football you Yahoo birches! You will lose 70% of that business,

    Moving message boards is a disaster. We communicate draft dates to make sure everyone is available, players available for trade, trade disputes, rule change discussions, and if you are even coming back in our keeper league.

  • Andre Miles commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please give our league the message board back.

    I'm not sure why this feature was deleted.

    Our league is established and it kept the managers informed and organized.

    Thanks.

    message boards are really important for the leagues development, the chat is difficult, some messages you could skip now you cant with the chat and you have to scroll a lot

  • Chris Hawkins commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please bring them back! I can't believe I'm begging for basic stuff.

  • Joe Rengers commented  ·   ·  Report

    **** whoever decided to remove the chat feature. You're a *******.

  • Jade Graber commented  ·   ·  Report

    Absolutely awful idea to disable the boards. I am in a few leagues that rely heavily on the boards. I was almost removed from both Baseball leagues because I could not confirm to the manager through the boards and it took a while to figure out how to get a hold of them. PLEASE bring back the boards. The email system is terrible, and the chat is hidden and so easily missed.

  • Chris D commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yahoo should make it possible for league commish to set the max number of batters and max pitchers allowed on each managers roster at any time... we use the message board to post about those who violate simple rules put in place due to the limitations of the yahoo league settings. The message board is used to explain the rule exists as the league is meant to function with all teams carrying all the batter roster positions and not dropping their catcher or util to stash more pitchers on their roster... etc. The message board is the place for managers to report anyone not following this basic rule. You have to carry all the batter roster positions on your roster at all times (or be under the max number of allowed roster postions). But if yahoo simply allowed the league commish to set the max number of batters vs max number of pitchers, it would solve the entire issue.

    this idea of no message board makes contacting league members and commish very difficult. Your BAD!

  • Doug Roede commented  ·   ·  Report

    i HATE that you are removing message boards as an option. This is critical not only for preseason information but also in-season as well. I've been a commissioner in multiple leagues for years, and message boards have been the best way to maintain critical information and check-ins. Using the chat is just an abyss and has everyone looking for other platforms, not just for messaging, but for playing. Any message we post in the chat gets buried behind roster moves, other messages, etc. This was a terrible move and one I hope is soon reversed.

    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
