Could this be the end of Yahoo forums?
Earlier, Yahoo released a surprising report that limits the numbers of vocal users to dominate the news articles discussion and other activities supported by the online company. It seems that Yahoo is giving up on forums.

The news release states:

To Yahoo! News readers:
Yahoo! News is working on new ways for readers to comment on the news and participate in a discussion around it. While we work on our new community features, the message boards that were linked from individual news articles have been taken offline.

As they were set up, the Yahoo! News message boards allowed a small number of vocal users to dominate the discussion. In addition, related discussions from similar news articles were not easily linked.

Over the next few months, we plan to offer new discussion forums based on topics in the news and incorporating the latest features to foster a better discussion for all of our readers.
