Removing message boards without warning? Ridiculous. It's where our league stores invaluable information about upcoming seasons, rule change agreements, draft order, and more.
If we'd had any inclination that Yahoo would delete 20 years' worth of league history, we would have archived it. But they didn't, so we didn't.
Chat isn't a substitute, it's a joke.
If Yahoo doesn't correct this, our league will move to another platform. It's the only reason that most of our managers even have a Yahoo account, so apparently this is an effective way for Yahoo to reduce its number of users and number of eyes on ads they sell.
It's as simple as this, Yahoo: fix it or we're left with no choice but to leave. Do better.

Message boards allow both the opportunity for back-and-forth discussion (re: rules changes, potential trades, draft order, etc.) as well as posting important reference information (such as draft order, keeper rules, in-person events, prizes, historical information, and future information).
They provide a place that can be referenced by or responded to by all managers. Those who opt in can receive notifications about message board updates; those who don't can access them at their convenience.
Message board content is different from chat - it's more permanent and less urgent. Chat's not a reference tool, it's a real-time communication tool. Our league uses text messaging for that.
It's great for smack talk, discussions during a game, or trade banter. But it's not a comprehensive reference and communication tool.
While it's great that Yahoo's contemplating expanding their chat feature to look more like ... dare I say it ... a MESSAGE BOARD ... right now, it's not. If doing so was Yahoo's plan, it should've been ready to roll for the 2023 season -- with all of its features completed. And if it wasn't ready for the 2023 season, it should have been kept in development until 2024.
