richwhite9 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Just a heads up to those who belong to some groups over there. Some big changes are coming.... Yahoo! Message Boards website Effective April 1, 2013, the Yahoo! Message Boards website will shut down. Our message boards on individual properties (like Yahoo! Finance and Yahoo! Fantasy Sports) will remain active. We also encourage you to ask and answer questions on Yahoo! Answers, and discuss issues in the comments section on Yahoo! News Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekewaka Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Those message boards are full of spam, anyway. Sad that most forums only work with active moderators in place. Still remember the early days of Usenet where the users were moderating the newsgroups themselves. That didn't last long when we opened the gates to hoi polloi.

MIDI2XS Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 After reading http://ycorpblog.com/2013/03/01/3553567/ it appears that http://messages.yahoo.com/ is what's going away, not the Yahoo Groups themselves. Yamaha: Motif XF6 and XS6, A3000V2, A4000, YS200 | Korg: T3EX, 05R/W | Fender Chroma Polaris | Roland U-220 | Etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnotherScott Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Yahoo isn't entirely sure what part of yahoo is going away next. Maybe they should ask Siri. Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug! Our now not-so-new new video at https://youtu.be/3ZRC3b4p4EI is a 40 minute adaptation of T. S. Eliot's "Prufrock" - check it out! And hopefully I'll have something new here this year. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmp Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I'd like to speak with Siri sometime to see how we get along. Before I'd consider paying for her. --wmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekewaka Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I actually talked to a Yahoo employee last night at a gig I was guest playing guitar at, he said the whole working-from-home decree has been blown out of proportion in the press. Happens a lot around here as the journalists et rest really don't know what's happening inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
