I have been playing yahoo fantasy baseball for over 20 years. In my opinion, not having message boards in public leagues is not a big deal. There have been leagues where the entire season would be played without one message. I have posted messages to get conversations started with zero replies. Other leagues may average about five or six messages for the entire season. I have not played in yahoo private leagues for four years now, but I do remember the message boards being a very important part of communication. So I do understand how those players are upset this year. In conclusion, private leagues probably need some sort of message board format, while public leagues are not necessary.
