WOW I noticed a lot of yahoo customers are ****** off at this bad business decision. Let's all start posting on social media about this and see how many customers leave yahoo fantasy for other fantasy sponsored businesses. Poor business decisions usually kill departments in big companies like this.

This is not smart. What executive behind the desk thought of removing the message board? He should be fired. way to lose customers by not letting them connect and talk to each other during the season on the board and post things etc. I been with yahoo fantasy for a long time now. Thinking of leaving. I also have three other friends thinking of leaving they also run 10-man leagues. so that would be at least 30 customers leaving. Oh, and bad-mouthing yahoo fantasy. Sorry but not sorry. The dumb person behind this is the reason, did that person think they would save time and money?? Bad business choice.

Dumbest business decision ever. Way to completely ignore 100% of your customer base. Idiots.

Carry over prior year's commissioner's messages to next season. We publish detailed rules there for reference.

I will concur that my league absolutely wants the messages back on the main league page the way they were.

Bring back the message board where people could post a topic and write messages. The only way to post something is in the 'League chat' section, where chats get absolutely lost amidst all transactions. I know you can filter out by clicking 'league chat' but it is difficult to find and no one ever uses it in my league. My league used to be so interactive and vocal, and now it is dead because you took message board away. Why was this feature ever taken away? Doesn't make sense.

During our trade deadline (last week); we had problems keeping track of trades... this is because Yahoo has eliminated message boards. With members debating the merits of a trade on chat; other trades would get lost. Message boards made it clear and easy to get votes for trades.

Please bring back group message boards. Our league likes them. I use them to do write-ups of how the match-ups went each week. Personally, it helps me follow things in the league. The league members like ready the weekly posts.

Please bring back the CHAT feature on Mock Drafts. I used to recruit people from the Mock drafts to play in my cash leagues on Yahoo. I still have 3 people in my current league from the Mock drafts when you had the Chat feature. I need the CHAT feature brought back because I need more people to play in my leagues.

Many of us don't primarily use our phones, so the lack of a message board or a desktop chat function is really crippling for league communication. Early in the football season (and during last year's baseball season), that desktop chat function served as an inferior replacement for the message board. But now that has gone away too and it's really taken a lot of the fun out of these leagues. Make it better for next year or I suspect you're going to lost lots of folks.

Every transaction is posted in it. The message board was a great way to communicate as any message was listed on the main page. I know you can email.

1) you got rid of smack talk (all our managers loved it) 2) then you made it harder find league notes with important info - like where are we meeting for our offline draft? 3) now we can't even leave a note (couldn't congratulate the league winner) 3 strikes!! i will see how this new system works in my friends baseball league and if it is not real good we will be playing elsewhere next year

Hi Jeff from Yahoo,
Our Yahoo Fantasy Football League is now 22 years old.
We used the message board to make important announcements, show our draft order, and also to show a summary of the championship game and announce the winner.
This year I posted it in the Commissioner's note, but only the Commissioner can access that and not all league members. Please take a look at our league homepage and check out my Commissioner Note. Maybe there is a way for Yahoo to improve their Chat options for next year.
I really hope you bring back the message board.
Thank you,
Team - LT Express

We often post league newsletters, power rankings, and end of year awards, which are all way too long to have on the little chat app. We opened a slack channel this year for it, but those disappear after 90 days so there's no historical data if I wanted to look at past years, which has been one of the best things about Yahoo. This is 100% a change for the worse. The experiment has failed. Bring back message boards.

Why Message Board is better than League Chat -1) Message Board coudl be viewed from the main "League" page while League Chat requires two clicks to open it up (out of site, out of mind). 2) Message Board was not cluttered up with the adds and drops of players. I know this can be filtered out, but again, it requires an additonal click that people don't like to do. 3) Message Board more user friendly (could see the topic and number of responses easily while League Chat is not easy to see topics and if responses are to the topic, and people can't easily see how to respond specifically to a post and then navigate back to it. 4) 90% less posts this year with the League Chat vs the Message Board.

I'm not happy about removal of this feature, period. Full stop. I will switch platforms if it is not restored for 2024.
