[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.

Picture it, some sort of board that allows users to easily communicate with each other and the entire league. You could put messages, polls, communicate keepers, draft times, share cell numbers for texting, make predictions about the season, you know, general merriment. Ground breaking idea, I know. You're welcome.

Please reevaluate this decision! This is just another one of those updates that supposedly makes things “easier and better” while actually making the situation worse!! You had a good product. You have just reduced the quality of that product. It appears that your decision makers need to have a little interaction with your clients before making anymore changes. If your goal was to frustrate and reduce your clientele, good job, you have done just that!!

We need to have the message board to do our fantasy leagues. If you can't bring them back, we will have to look to another platform for our leagues.

We use the message board for offline slow drafts

I’m sure this justified the existence of a bunch of self-important “thought leaders” in your company, but your customers actually find value in this feature. The app is garbage and no one gives a **** about the chat feature. Solid move, nerds.

Yahoo employs MORONS!!!!! Our entire league is going to Fantrax and deleting our Yahoo accounts all together. That's what happens when you treat your users like ****. Also you CANNOT access historical or previous posts like you claimed we could. So you've lied on top of everything. You have done harm to so many leagues.

I have used Yahoo Fantasy sports since 1999. I have defended it against many who claimed the site was garbage and wanted to move to another site. However, I can promise you this will be my last year using this site if the message board doesn't come back. Hey guys, let's throw a big party but no one is allowed to talk! Make it make sense to us...

We use message boards all the time. Not everyone uses the mobile app, and for those who do, the messaging interface SUCKS. Emailing everyone is also painful, and very difficult to read old messages.
Stop trying to fix what isn't broken and bring back the message boards ASAP.

Thanks for creating this "safe space" in yahoo FANTASY. Way to prioritize that over actual problems in the app but hey, that the fairy world we live in. Good job 👍

Somebody please escalate this with Yahoo, whoever is in charge of this and decided not to respond to the unanimous and desperate pleading of users is doing an awful job and needs to be fired.

HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO COMMUNICATE WITH OUR LEAGUE WITHOUT THE MESSAGE BOARDS? YOU TAKE THEM AWAY WITHOUT ANYTHING TO REPLACE IT? THE CHAT ONLY WORKS FOR THE APP AND NOT EVERYONE USES THE STUPID CHAT ON THE APP.
BRING BACK THE MESSAGE BOARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolute idiots working for Yahoo fantasy. Forcing people to use your useless chat feature like Fn commies. The chat is USELESS for league communications. We relied on the message board in many of my Dynasty leagues. Now we're going to Fantrax. Seriously F you guys. Punishing us because you wasted money on a useless chat feature that nobody uses.

This is the most tone deaf thing Yahoo Fantasy has ever done. Don't remove the boards until the chat is as full featured as listed above.

Are you trying to kill this product? Because this is how you kill this product. You really thought the biggest problem with Yahoo Fantasy Baseball was giving people the ability to communicate with their leaguemates easily? Fire whoever had this "brilliant" idea and bring back Funston. This site is turning into a joke.

We absolutely need the Message Boards. People do not utilize chat. Half of my league didn't even know it exists. Bring back the Message Boards ASAP!

I've seen nothing but garbage decisions by Yahoo over the past few months. 1. The ungodly bad player profile popup. 2. Player career stats are gone. LOL 3. Cut off basic communication of league mates.
Seems as though this old ship has hit an iceberg and is heading down. Looking for a lifeboat.

Not interested in live chatting with random league mates. This isn't 1994. The MB posting system is far better for this application.
Not a great idea. Not as bad as removing all past player statistics...but still pretty bad.

This was a terrible decision. The message board communication is a cornerstone of my league and its removal has been a huge inconvenience for everyone.
