To those of you who don't know what Yahoo! Member Directory is/was or Yahoo! Message Boards is/was, allow me to explain. Yahoo! Member Directory was a service provided by Yahoo! that allowed people to look up the user names of-well anyone-including celebrities. Because impersonating celebrities on the Internet was a trend in the early to mid-2000s, you never knew who was the real deal or a phony. You had to be wary of who you were talking to. Seeing them on a webcam or a picture or their voice was the best way to go about doing that.
Yahoo! Music Message Boards was a service where fans could talk about their favorite bands on their designated message boards-meaning the ones designated for that specific band. Sometimes it got crazy over there and it bought out the trolls. I'm not sure when Yahoo! decided to discontinue the member directory and music message boards, but I'm upset that they did. There were some good people on the message boards though.
