How Much Longer is The News Message Boards Will Be Down?

Question

To Yahoo! News readers:

Yahoo! News is working on new ways for readers to comment on the news and participate in a discussion around it. While we work on our new community features, the message boards that were linked from individual news articles have been taken offline.

As they were set up, the Yahoo! News message boards allowed a small number of vocal users to dominate the discussion. In addition, related discussions from similar news articles were not easily linked.

Over the next few months, we plan to offer new discussion forums based on topics in the news and incorporating the latest features to foster a better discussion for all of our readers.

Neil Budde

The next few months ...

Answer 2

I believe it's going to take much longer.

Like I tell everyone else. Have patience.

You'll wake up one morning, log on and

"POOF" the MB's will be up and running.

I don't know the who, what, when, how or why.

But it will happen. Stay on your feet soldier! :)

Answer 3

Answer 4

I truly believe that Neil Budde took the discussion boards down due to political pressure! there is no way to have the discussions we used to have on this site. the trolls were not a problem because they could be ignored. It was a place where some of us little people had a voice and they took it away!
