Any Yahoo trolls out there that miss the old news message boards?

Question

I miss them. Some of the posts on there were so stupid I used to laugh my head off. It was real funny when someone would take a comment offensively and just rant like a lunatic.

Answer 1

THIS is what the Yahoo's said about their boards:

"AP) In a shocking upheaval unseen since the terrible days of Hurricane Katrina, a server maintenence upgrade resulting in interrupted access to Yahoo's notorious message boards has left "millions of panicked posters displaced" according to Yahoo spokeswoman Sarojini Naidu.

"Yahoo message boards are the biggest meeting place on the planet." Boasted Naidu. "We recently upgraded our hosting servers, and the boards have been down for 4 days for file maintenence. We knew there would be a fair measure of uproar, but not of these proportions. It is almost biblical in scope, quite shocking."

An understatement, indeed.

Yahoo message boards have become the Internet's most politicized and traveled public forum. By slyly avoiding almost all forms of moderation, Yahoo webmasters allow regular members, called "trolls", to post any and all subjects with apparent impunity from censorship or cancellation of service. Sexism, racism, political partisanism and even overt threats and obscenities are all allowed to ring free and unfettered on Yahoo, resulting in the Web's --and probably the world's-- most ferocious socio-political battleground seen or heard since the great civil rights and anti-war movements of the 1960's

"We never expected our forums to get this big." Pondered Naishu "It just goes to show that people want to be heard and express their views, and they think that our boards give them a sense of power and purpose, as well as a vehicle to drive them home with. Our boards are what make Yahoo Yahoo. They are also what make us controversial. It's a mixed blessing in many ways."

Boycott every single thingYahoo until the boards

are reinstated!

Answer 4

WAHHHH...I miss the boards so much!  It was a way for people to express their true opinions without fear of having to be "politically correct".  I wrote a nasty email to Yahoo about closing them down and of course got no response.  Shame on Yahoo for getting rid of the discussion boards...
