[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.

Where is the Chat that replaced the Message Boards?

What a stupid, pointless change this is. A solution in search of a problem. I can't even FIND Fantasy Chat. Bring back the message boards before you drive us to another site.

First, there was a great deal of chatter, often keeping in touch with everyone (we all know each other), talking about vacations, arranging get togethers, voting on league changes, voting on rule changes, announcements, reminders, trade offers, counteroffers, other teams jumping in with other offers

This is the number 3 ranked item with 1807 comments, Number 1 has 274, and Number 2 has 262. Sounds like Yahoo/AOL is using new math?

The league chat tracks every single transaction. You post important info, it'll get lost in the scroll in a matter of days. That's in no way a feasible alternative... Is there any evidence yahoo is listening to the huge amount of discontent here or should we just go to a gas station and write "yahoo sucks" on the bathroom wall?

Message Boards are a big part of League interaction. You have just pushed me out of Yahoo and into CBS or Fantrax Leagues!

No more message boards? Bad idea. Dumb idea. Makes no sense. No explanation as to why they are not available.

I'm having a lot of trouble communicating now. The message boards were where my leagues communicate the most. Email league isn't available on the app. Chat isn't available on the website. I run two leagues and everyone uses a different medium. You have put an anchor on my leagues.

This is disappointing and may be enough for our league to leave yahoo to play on a different site. We're a league spread out over the country and the message boards was the central place for all communications, where all could respond in one centralized place. While the chat exists, it doesn't allow for various threads (trades, keepers, dues, draft cash, rule proposals, draft coordination, etc.). This has put our league in disarray at the most exciting time of the season. The chat feature can't match the simplicity, organization, and convenience that the message boards allowed. All we can hope is that yahoo is actually listening to the feedback and will bring back the message boards. If Yahoo is going to move to a chat feature then bring back the message boards for the 2023 season while building out the chat feature so leagues can adjust and prepare for the change.

Absolute insanity. You don't remove a feature with promises of replacement features to come. Install it first at Least!!! Critical votes happen there and there needs to bee a Public record of it. Whoever ****** out this Idea needs to shove it back where it came from.

HEY YAHOO! WHERE IS YOUR VAUNTED CHAT FEATURE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO TAKE THE PLACE OF THE MESSAGE BOARD?!
-
Marcus Hirsch commented
There's a reason why every comment on here for feedback is negative: this is a TERRIBLE idea. I've been playing on Yahoo for almost 25 years, and the message board is a very important feature: it's where things like league information and draft items are posted by the manager. Removing the message board makes this extremely complicated and much more difficult. Please, please, please bring back the message board.

I will miss the message board. We used it a lot in our dynasty league from voting on issues to reminders to clear IL slots at the end of the season and to send out reminders at the end of the season. I'm irritated Yahoo killed it without further "investing" in chat to the point where it could do the same things if not better than the message board. Yahoo, this was quite the misstep!!

Elon? Is that you?

You may have killed an over 20 year keeper league. How are we supposed to have discussions in chats during the season when it's littered with all the player transactions? You'll never see half the messages if not more.
Maybe you should have invested in the chat first before killing message boards and replacing it with something that won't work yet.It's like Elon Musk secretly bought Yahoo so he could kill it too.

The message board were the best place our multiple leagues used to schedule draft times, post players on the trade block, communicate potential changes all on separate threads that everyone could access and follow. Using messenger will cause miscommunication with important announcements, or ideas to get lost in other discussions. If you've ever tried to schedule anything in a group text you'd understand how things can and will go off the rails quick.
Fantrax is becoming more of an option for the multiple leagues I play in. They have message boards as well as a chat option, along with many other positive features.
