    Chat and message boards are not the same thing, and provide different use cases. This is a ridiculous product flaw to remove message boards which are the superior option for:

    - Posting league specific content, like commissioner previews/recaps of matchups
    - Initiating trade conversations since a team can only list a maximum of 5 players on the trading block and the original notification is almost immediately pushed below the fold as league transactions are made
    - Post leaguewide messages - managers want everything nicely stored together instead of having to search through their inbox.
    - Post nonsense between friends - no one wants spam emails or incessant chat notifications. Message boards allow content to be discovered at the player's leisure and persist longer than a disposable chat
    - Makes the league page feel like a hub/place where the whole league is involved and together. Removing it transforms the whole experience nothing more than a short set of Pavlovian responses- set my lineup, check my team's stats, and close.

    It's so detrimental to the community feeling of the league, that if message boards are not available for football season we will move our league to another platform.
    Just a really ignorant and uniformed product decision made without player input, or support.
