If I weren't a member of the RSS Advisory Board, you wouldn't find me over there either.

I don't find even Yahoo groups to be a good reason to maintain an account. There's just no group I want to participate in that badly.

Agreed. Web sites should be as forgiving as possible to browser capabilities and user preferences.

I tried to use yahoo games a couple of weeks ago, but couldn't make it work because it has some automatic popups and just disabling my adblocker popup blocker wasn't enough (and they weren't from a link that I could explicitly open).

A website shouldn't have to tell you "change your popup settings" to work. It should just work.

The only use of Yahoo! right now is to make us laugh with Yahoo! answers

are they doomed to a series of unsuccessful attempts to catch up with Google, while being alternatively courted and slapped around by Microsoft?

exactly that.
