[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.

Our league message board IS the best way to communicate. Changing to to chats is ridiculous. Yahoo, how many users, i.e., players, coaches, commissioners want to get rid of the msg boards? It is safe to say, we don't want this obtuse change. Sad, sad, case of affairs.

It's irritating that we cannot communicate on the page where everything is, why did this happen? Also during NFL season this will make this game even less fun.

Chat is not an adequate replacement for message boards! Why would you push customers to the competition?

This is our third season back on Yahoo, and no message boards has inspired the league to move to Fantrax next year. We all live all over the country and easiest way to communicate was the message boards. Yahoo really does get worse every year. Too bad, beyond this particular league, I have done FBB here for two decades.

This is making our league of 20+ years in a row so much more difficult to run. The chat isn't effective and makes threads impossible to have. It makes communication very chaotic and disheveled. Relying on emails is less desirable than the chat

This is a bad move. We used message boards quite a bit.

If message posts are not reinstated we will be moving all nine of our hockey and baseball leagues to another site.

No good reason to remove posts and massages. We announced trades that involved waiver picks, rookie picks and and rookie players in deals. So many ways we used messages as a core part of the league. Please reinstate asap.

Wow, just super ditto on what everyone has already said! My only question is who comes up with these terrible decisions, it cant possibly be actual players/users that are familiar or knowledgeable with fantasy sports or even their own product (aka f*ckin coders, bean-counters, n oblivious admin). And if all you yahoos! (pun def intended) don't understand WHY there are no positive comments and WHY and WHAT all the negative comments regard (besides not being a big surprise) you obviously have no clue n prove my point.

We need the message boards back! This is the best way to communicate with the league. Why were these removed? This is critical and my league has asked us to move to a different league next year unless the message boards are reinstated. We are too busy and get too many emails to not be able to communicate on our message board. PLEASE REINSTATE!

No way to communicate with the league, lame. It's the night before opening day and our league of 12 years has no way to share if we're playing this year or have a draft set up. This will probably force all my fantasy leagues over to CBS.

This was one of the very useful, and very fun aspects of the league. I am so very, very disappointed you have chosen not to use the message boards.

Chat is inferior and not what I seek from my league, nor what my leagues seek. Poor decision. And another disappointment from Yahoo Fantasy. Please bring back message boards.

Always changing for the worst. Loved how you could write something next to your team name in the past. Gone. Now we have no message board??? How do we quickly communicate with the whole league? I’ll send an email and get a response a few days later. I have an idea for next year. We shouldn’t be allowed to name our team.
