Comment trolling was the least of their worries (Score 1) 135
the yahoo boards are famous for their trolls but yahoo couldnt care less about them. yahoo possibly incouraged flame wars by posting 'loaded' stories so they would get high click throughs for their ad's.
the main reason yahoo is "improving" their boards (e.g shutting the old filthy ones down) is because a lawyer named Stephen Galton is suing them over the fact he was badmouthed. some think there is some sort of political motive as well.
new boards are available but are filled with spam and it doesnt look like yahoo cares. there is also a way to use the old ones as well but there is no point when there is nobody on them that you can wind up.
