Bring back message boards in Fantasy Baseball
Needed now for critical communications to set up and start leagues for 2023. Been a user for 20 years.

It makes no sense to eliminate the one clear transparent source of communication our leagues have with each other without going outside the Yahoo ecosystem. I had to dig through comments to find out that fantasy chat is a mobile only tool. Why isn't this integrated to the desktop gui? Did someone thing this would improve our user experience? Is a message board extremely expensive to maintain? If there is a reason you're trying to eliminate it, you might want to clearly and concisely explain why.

Not having the message board is a deal breaker for me. I am seriously considering switching to another site to host my league next season.

This was the primary mechanism for communication. Making your users conform to what is speculated to be a good idea is short-sighted. You DO realize that your only existing demographic that uses Yahoo for Fantasy are 40+, correct? You are taking incremental steps to alienate the only people who use you. Now is the time to bring the message board back. Listen to the users that you actually have. It's an antiquated platform but at least it was consistent.

Message board is vital for league communication. The chat system sucks, the note system sucks, and can't reply to league emails. The only thing that worked well was message board and you removed it??? The new player card is trash, the player profile now no longer has career stats, and now removing message board? I'm sure yahoo is going to lose a lot of users this year.

You can't run keeper or dynasty leagues without a message board.
If Yahoo is interested in keeping loyal, long time users the boards have to come back and baseball (and not be removed from future seasons of hockey, basketball, and football).

Yahoo please reconsider! It's not too late to bring back Message Boards. This would be like a bank telling you that you can't access your money unless you use their app.
This decision has to boil down to one thing. Greed!
Let people play and communicate how they want to!

Message Boards are vital. Taking them away, without warning?????
We're owed advance-notice ... especially after 20+ years bringing clicks/traffic/advertising dollars to this platform.

Bring it back, Yahoo. WTF??

Well, we handled our offline draft by text message. The message board that has been available for many years until this one suited our preference. It looks like this may be our league's last year with Yahoo, as the general feeling of our group is that we want to move to "a website that actually incorporates the draft and messaging into their platform...jumping around thru various spreadsheets and websites is a pain **********..." Yahoo has served us well over the year. We are confused why Yahoo would remove already-built useful functions. Even the younger, new additions to our league don't like the new system.

The Fantasy Chat is not available from the website (only the app). Some of us still use computers...
