Yahoo be like:
"You've been with us for 20+ years? Go _ _ _ _ yourselves."Smart.
I can't get over how absurd and unnecessary this "change" is.
The ultimate outcome: driving us away, and dissolving FREE leagues ... shifting platform's focus/support toward gambling ... must be the motive ...
Directing us all here is the equivalent of muting us 🔇

Been with Yahoo since '98.
Just bill me for the f'n message board.
Make it an add-on if we upgrade our leagues to premium.

Are co-commissioners able to post Commissioner's Notes? Or is it just the main commissioner?
If all managers were made co-commissioners (and you fully trusted them), couldn't the 'Commissioner's Note' tool be used as a central means of shared communication in the interim?

Ah, according to Linkedn ...

So, it seems Jacob's sole purpose is to relay information ... but has he?
There are many members of the Yahoo Fantasy Sports Product and Engineering Teams listed on Linkedn, like ...

Anyone down to join me in messaging some of the people who actually work on Yahoo Fantasy Sports to make sure they're aware of how impactful this change is???

LHow could these people so unapologetically **** us over like this ... and add insult to injury with the laziest/half-*** explanation possible ...
I'm somewhat amused by the hypocrisy of providing "feedback" on this message board.
Like others have mentioned, the motive must be to push people away ...
Disgruntled Yahoo employees or ex(?)-employees purposely messing things up ... out of spite
Is this the only recourse we have? The digital equivalent of screaming into a pillow? Is there no other way for us to get this grievance to people at Yahoo, other than jpaine? Can anyone find out if jpaine even still works for Yahoo?
If this change sticks, my leagues (24 years, and 14 years) will die this season.

It's unbelievable that they're gathering feedback in literally the same exact way that league managers do/did with message boards ...
The hypocrisy of this situation is maddening.

Hey jpaine (Admin, Yahoo), why are you guys collecting feedback through these means?
Why not tuck this feedback section away in the app too?
Or better yet, as you've suggested for league communication, why not just collect this feedback through your personal email account?
Right, because that makes sense.

Does this have to do with the layoffs at Yahoo??? is getting rid of the message boards a vindictive move by unhappy Yahoo employees (or soon-to-be ex-employees), perpetrated to intentionally push people away from Yahoo??? [It's the only motive that makes sense]
It's ridiculous how (when posting here), it says "How can we make Fantasy Baseball better?"
Fully explain why Message Boards were abruptly taken away OR put them back on so we can follow through with at least one more season of fantasy sports with Yahoo.

Message Boards are CRITICAL. Literally, this change will obliterate the Yahoo Fantasy user-base. Those who made this change have to realize that - I wonder if it has something to do with the Yahoo layoffs - like, truthfully, is it a vindictive move by unhappy Yahoo employees (or soon-to-be ex-employees), perpetrated to intentionally push people away from Yahoo??? [It's the only motive that makes sense]

Unbelievable, tone-deaf, ignorant, arrogant, and rude af ...
A shocking slap-in-the-face ...
Making it 1000x worse is the lack of warning - allowing no opportunity for recurring leagues (whose managers have solely communicated through the ******* message boards for years) to talk through how we'd possibly adapt.
This change is the kind you warn about a year in advance ...
Message Boards are vital.
I'd pay a fee to have it in my leagues.The app absolutely sucks - there is no doubt that this change is an Extinction Level Event for Yahoo Fantasy Sports ...

Credit to 'Andrew Acs' for this:
This decision to remove message boards is completely incomprehensible. How could you shut down message boards before launching an upgraded chat site?
You have successfully united the fantasy community AGAINST YOU! EVERYBODY IS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS.
The decision should clearly be reversed. But I know that it won't be.
You should not be short-sighted for the next seasons in other sports.
We are not all immature 17 year-olds who are incapable of doing something harder than scrolling.
Some of us can actually put several paragraphs togther.
The fantasy community is full of people who are interested in doing complicated things and we do not all fit into one tidy box and do things only one way.I am in multiple leagues, including keeper leagues which have detailed rules.
We used message boards to:
1) get confirmations as to which members are returning to the league and everybody would easily see which members were returning and which ones weren't.
2) post our detailed rules (as the Commissioner's note is not practical).
3) have rule-change discussions for the future
4) as an FAQ (and not answer the same question multiple times)
5) people advertized available leagues in several sports
6) as a reference site for other issuesAs the commissioner of many leagues, I am EXTREMLY frustrated at how difficult communication has been this year. Roughly 75% of users have no clue where to find the Chat link or are completely uninterested in it. Sending e-mails doesn't work because they do not stand out and are ignored (and often go to Spam folders).
I am convinced leagues will have record numbers of teams not even show up for drafts and be managerless from Day 1 of the season.
Some leagues have moved to Fantrax which has a far superior product to Yahoo Fantasy.
Some leagues have been abandoned (as people are sick and tired of being disappointed by Yahoo) and just join new leagues on other platforms.Many leagues are NOT waiting for an unknown upgrade to come to Yahoo chat. We are using third party apps (such as Discord, Signal, GroupMe, Slack etc). Frankly too many leagues use too many different apps but everyone wants something better. We want to do more than post Gifs.
What you really should have done was implement a streamlined way for managers to click on a button to confirm their intention/interest to return to a league. Perhaps even have an easy way of communicating whether they would prefer a week-day or week-end draft and whether mornings, afternoon, evening, or late-night drafts are best.
Your Private league listings should have many MORE filters. One should be able to look more easily for leagues with certain ranges of sizes, categories or other important settings.
The real problem is that Fantasy Sports is not profitable enough for Yahoo/AOL. So programmers will generate a greater return on investment by working on other areas. That's why, your product is stagnant and you are not making any upgrades under the hood. As consumers, we are better served by specialized websites which can focus on our needs as consumers.
Good luck keeping your customer base.

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.

Likely it's all about money/gambling ... notice how, in the app, in the top left corner, there's a $ sign ... takes you right to legalized gambling

We should all post here bc the other post is titled "feedback" ...
This post's title would be more impactful in Top 10.

We should campaign to have the Top 10 Feedback topics be "Bring Back the Message Boards" to really emphasize how Yahoo's users are not a priority.

Yahoo is in the process of taking functionality away - and ignoring great suggestions like this one.
