    We went ahead with Yahoo for baseball after you took the message boards out. It's required us to make a league page on Facebook, thereby driving traffic away from your site.

    I want to keep things 100% local and all in one place, so for football season, we're going to migrate our league over to a competitor.

    Our workaround has been to open up a Facebook group. We post everything on the Facebook group like it were a message board.

    Oh, and when we need to chat? Guess what? The Facebook group has made us realize that we all have Facebook. So we all chat on Facebook Messenger.

    Congrats, you've simultaneously created a reason for reduced traffic on our league and team pages, and led us to a chat alternative, simply because you want us to be forced to use Yahoo chat.

    I can guarantee we will be using Yahoo chat a lot less than we were previously (which admittedly was not very much).

    Our league has decided to move all our communications to a Facebook group. We are doing this on a trial basis and if it seems to be too tedious we will move away to another fantasy site.

    If this is part of a strategy to drive people away so you can kill off the fantasy sports division, it's a great first step. I doubt the analysts on your payroll are happy about this decision.

    Our league that has a history dating back to 2001 is considering switching platforms over this. Yahoo says they will add threading and pinning to fantasy chat, but will that give us the ability to organize things into neat topical threads like the message board, or are we going to have to scroll up for 30 minutes to find a message from the beginning of the season?

    Yahoo should have (at least) left message boards in for this season and run it alongside chat until chat is complete. But as of now, we don't know what we are getting and we only know what we're losing.

    If you're going to focus on chat instead of message board, can you make it available on the desktop browser?
