New Yahoo! Message Boards BLOW

[AzX5]

Anyone else use the finance boards and think they suck big time? They are going to lose visitors in droves. Reminds me of the "New Coke" fiasco. Why change what ain't broken?

I've found Investor Village has much better board format and is gaining countless new members per second thanks to Yahoo!. I recommend you try InvestorVillage.com if you liked the way the Yahoo! Message Boards were before.

Az...I was never much of a fan of the screamers
and p & ds there, anyway...and, I agree they
really are weird now with the "improvements".

I use Board Central to peruse the stocks I
own/follow...though BC is often on the fritz.

ClearStation is decent if you can get past the
resident "xperts".

The days of decent info derived from a stock
chat board are long gone, imo; way too much
pump & dump.

GL on the M...jes' waiting for the next shoe to
drop.

I agree that most the stock boards are overloaded with pumpers, dumpers, name calling and excessive politics. But the format itself was simple, and made logical sense.

I'm new to Investor Village, but so far I really like it. Supposedly, they don't tolerate abuse so the quality of posts should be much better than Yahoo! was. Time will tell. Thanks for the Board Central Rec.
