Will Yahoo lose revenue due to eliminating the message boards?

Question

With the elimination of the message boards, there will be no more trolling, and thus less Yahoo hits. Wonder how Yahoo will sell that to their customers who advertise on the Yahoo site?

Answer 1

You can still post on this messageboard:

http://news.messages.yahoo.com/bbs?actio...

It seems Yahoo MessageBoards are still running, they just removed the links from the news stories.

Answer 2

I think they will. Just think of all the revenue the trolls generated with all those hits. Yahoo will regret its decision, I'm pretty sure, because the advertisers are going to be pissed.
