I am SO disappointed in removing the message boards! For one thing, the Chat interface is abysmal - no notifications on web, confusing league/person interface, tough to figure out in app. Secondly, I don't always want to do chat. I like the asynchronous interface of a message board, where we can go back and respond later (maybe go back and belatedly taunt someone crowing over their draft success, whatever). Our schedules do not align that "chatting" is the best interface - I like to have a static message with a topic, where people can respond specifically to that. It is ESPECIALLY critical in pre-season stuff, where people need to discuss potential rules changes, keepers, etc.
