Question

What has Yahoo done with the news discussion boards?

Answer 1

Thanks to christians zealots and nasty repubs yahoo has decided to close them.

Yahoo is c**p!

Answer 2

The boards were removed because there were too many truths being exposed,too many truisms being expressed and they were tired of receiving my monthly pittance of a service fee. Guess they just don't want our money,I suppose it's time to find another provider !

Answer 3

Answer 4

They are revamping them and plan to return them "soon"

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.

Answer 5

They decided that no one really needs to discuss the news as its all just c**p anyway...so they totally annihilated it...that or nothing.

Answer 6

Yahoo has gotten too much pressure from Government on allowing alternate news to such a wide variety of people.  This was making a laughing stock of government news outlet like Fox news, etc.

Answer 7

there are still some message boards, but they are set up very differently from the ones that were part of the headline news

to find them, go to Yahoo home page and click on the 'more Yahoo services' button and look under M
