[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.

    How many FBB players need to plead for the return of the message boards, Yahoo staffers? Is anyone at Yahoo even READING these postings?? When an organization makes a mindless, unilateral change that 100% of its users object to, wouldn't that rational, customer-service-oriented organization reverse course and undo the change? Not if you're Yahoo you won't --- to **** with what 100% of our customers want, we're YAHOO -- we do whatever we please.

    Our league does not use e-mail to converse/communicate. Maybe half of them use the chat function, and about the same number use the Yahoo fantasy app. If I ever really need to get a hold of a manager, I resort to texting.

    All that is to say that our league's managers see the message board when they use the PC interface. Without it, it's really difficult to make rule or setting proposals. It's also a way for us to keep a record of league milestones/stats. Please bring it back, or as a previous poster stated, allow it to be an optional feature that commissioners can turn on or off.

    I noticed you still havent brought back message boards.. What are you waiting for? You have ruined fantasy baseball

  • Anthony Buckley commented  ·   ·  Report

    The msg board is/was the BACKBONE of our leagues...we communicated EVERYTHING on it...it is a great tool, and to take it away, especially so soon to the new BB season is extremely dissatisfying...So far, 6 of the leagues I was in and planned to continue in have been disbanded because of this change...
    Please change it back to how it's always been, at least for this year, and explain how the new feature (chat?) will improve this capability.
    Very dissatisfied customer....

    This is BS! Yahoo just making the product worse. The chat function sucks and we don’t use it in most of my leagues.

    Going to have to consider moving my 17 year baseball keeper league now. This is absolutely terrible decision making smh

    Fix this yahoo!

  • shea commented  ·   ·  Report

    I suggest a "boycott" until the message board returns...delete any league you've created (and haven't drafted), and create a backup league on ESPN or Fantrax in case Yahoo really doesn't give it back to us. I thought we'd get it back by now given the response. If league numbers show a decline maybe we'll get their attention.

    so.....this is only the 6th most important topic?!? I CALL BS!!!! there are over 1000 comments on this subject which is more than 200 more that the first 5 "highest priority" subjects put together (799 total)! the #4 topic only has 26 comments and the #5 has 36!!! wake the F UP YAHOO AND RESTORE THE MESSAGE BOARD.....NOBODY CARES ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE!

  • Mike Archer commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is an absolutely vital feature for almost every type of yahoo fantasy league I'm part of. Almost all communications about league activities are communicated via the message boards, not to mention general banter, smack talk and general conversation.
    There have been and bad changes through-out the years with yahoo fantasy sports ... removing the message boards would be the absolute worst of them all.

  • Kevin McMahon commented  ·   ·  Report

    Awful change. As a long time commish of leagues across many sports, this changes everything and was my primary way of communicating. Your messenger app is terrible.

    BRING BACK THE MESSAGE BOARD.

  • Michael Barber commented  ·   ·  Report

    PLEASE allow commissioners to choose message boards (if they elect to ) for their leagues.

    This NO message board mandate should be in public leagues only.

  • Michael Barber commented  ·   ·  Report

    As Commissioner I can only edit the existing note. I can no longer add multiple notes to our league page, Is this a glitch or error, or is this just how it is going to be? Really could use the multiple note format.
    Thanks, Mike B.

  • Joe Ledbetter II commented  ·   ·  Report

    For some people, this is the only way to easily communicate. Not everyone has a phone. Not everyone wants to chat with the whole league about trades. It's also how to post players you're looking to trade, find trading partners, etc. Getting rid of message boards is stupid. We need them to communicate effectively. NEED them.

  • Mike W commented  ·   ·  Report

    I think it's a very bad idea to get rid of message boards. I can't see any reason why this could be a good idea. "Hey, let's eliminate communication--these leagues that have close friends that have been around awhile will love it." Worst idea ever. I guess what this did is force us to use another website for communication, which is better than the previous Yahoo Fantasy Baseball message board, so thanks I guess?

    I am the Commissioner in 2 YAHOO Keeper Baseball Leagues, one Football, and one Hockey, and have been in another Baseball Keeper League for about 12 years. The Message Board has been our main form of communication in every single one of those 3 Leagues. I am 69 and not uber savvy about chat platforms. I don't even see a link to Fantasy Chat on my League Pages. I fully expect your decision to be a disaster and I would predict you will lose subscribers, specially among the more senior communities. The allegorical image of shooting yourself in the foot is what first comes to mind when it comes to this YAHOO decision. There's absolutely no need to fix what ain't broken, and even less to dismantle that which is working exceedingly well. What the f happened here?
