[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.

Totally against removing the message board, I'm in at least 10 leagues and we all use this to communicate. I will end up using a different service other than yahoo so please do not do this.

Awful idea. Why would this even be a consideration? This is the heartbeat of every league.

The message boards are NOT coming back.
They're just attempting to farm ideas to build the "improved chat" at some point during the season when it will be too late.
That's why you aren't seeing a response to the feedback. None is intended.
Again, the message boards are not coming back despite the clear indication that it's a horrible idea.
Your best bet is to leave Yahoo for another service that still has boards like we're doing.

In the real world one seeks "FEEDBACK" in order to not appease their clientele and customers, but to rather analyze the feedback, and then if consistent castigation of a poor decision is heard, then change occurs. YOU CLOWNS here at Yahoo are ignoring the HUNDREDS of appropriate comments ripping you idiots for getting rid of the message boards. You are gas lighting us. You have no intention of appropriately bringing them back, and even more sadly, as a business owned by NBC, you are beholden to your shareholders. You have hundreds of long-time players leaving you, and appropriately so. Eat your crow, and put the **** message boards back. And then fire the moron or morons who made this atrocious, ignorant decision. Thank you.

Its apparent that Yahoo is not run by Americans at all, otherwise Yahoo would know how important Yahoo league message board is. Yahoo a few years ago was in financial situation and laid off many folks, you manage to get back on your feet and now you gonna fall back flat on your face on your own doings. Come on, folks, listen to your customers, who understand the game (which Yahoo doesn't). bring back the message board.

League message boards are essential to fantasy sports

In the past, proposed trades have been voted on via the message board. Other league business, changes, and proposals were posted and voted upon in the message board. Do not eliminate the Message Board.

Frankly, cut down on the gambling ads every time I navigate to a new Fantasy page. That could free-up a few engineers.

Just Yahoo Sports eating itself. The important thing here is to look into what other sites are doing this. I rarely use message boards anywhere other than Yahoo bc there are so many trades, etc., going on, and info that needs to be pushed to the forefront quickly, and sometimes needs a major vote/decision quickly. Chat is not the way to go. Some don't check their chat, (or email, lol) and even enabling it within the app is not pertinent to making the leagues work as efficiently. if LDI Sports shuts down all his leagues, I'm going elsewhere. It must be hard to jusy leave a good thing alone.

You are trying to fix something that isn't
broken. Just leave it the way it was.
Tweaking something just to tweak is
going to cost you many hundreds if not
thousands of leagues just calling it quits. -

The necessity of having a message board is one that may require my groups to find other options than Yahoo! Why would you remove such an important option from your sites? Our league is constantly using the message boards to discuss trades, possible rule changes for upcoming seasons, posting keepers from year to year, and talking smack. With people playing from different areas in the country, it is imperative that the message boards be returned in order for us to stay with Yahoo!
