Yahoo shutting down its message boards 3/31
I figured this was post-worthy since without those boards, this board wouldn't exist, nor would I know any of the people who post here.
Almost makes me think the Legion of Trolls needs to make one final appearance. Either a Cheese Shoppe skit or a haiku tribute. Perhaps the Reds board since the Cubs board is pretty much useless these days.
And what will become of Windy's paid poster position?

"To help focus our efforts on core Yahoo! product experiences, we will discontinue Yahoo! Message Boards by 31st March 2013"
No idea what Yahoo's "core product experiences" are, but it sounds like there's going to be more bandwidth devoted to the terminally-snarky Jeff Passan and those insipid Yahoo Contributor Network essays that contain less factual information than Kim Jong Il's official biography.

Once they started their Nazi-esque censorship policy, it was over. Key-rist, you couldn't even write Ryan Hanigan's name because using the letters N-I-G in succession triggered the rejection mechanism. Which is ironic because Ryan Hanigan is so white he's practically translucent.
