What happened to the "Discuss" option in Yahoo News.?

Question

There used to be an option in the bottom of news articles, in which you could discuss,,add your comment to the related story..It would range from intelligent debate to out and out slagging,,It was quite entertaining.

Seems to have gone..Anyone know of any other news sites, that you can add your input and debate with others?

Any input would be gratefully appreciated..

Cheers...

I remember them. According to Wikipedia they were shut down on December 19, 2006. I imagine it's because there was a very low signal-to-noise ratio. I remember reading through the message boards and pretty much every article would end up with a bunch of racist comments.
