    I went on to yahoo not too long ago to play one of their parlor games called 'Literati', which was basically their version of scrabble. Low and behold in 2014 yahoo closed all of their multiplayer parlor games such as Chess, Checkers, Cribbage, Pool, Literati, etc...

    Hours of time being passed playing their games and chilling with strangers. Now all they have are crappy games where you play against the computer. What was yahoo thinking?!?!?!?

    Anyone else remember any of those games? Yahoo pool was a freaking classic!

    Forget that!!!!

    I used to love playing spades on Yahoo, so I totally understand your sentiment.

    I played so many hours of Hearts on Yahoo back in 90s I could never even count how many.

    Side story - I have a pal who sold his gaming company to Yahoo back then and they turned him into one of those avatars. Remember those - the little guys with baseball caps or whatever? That was pretty, pretty, pretty cool.

    Same thing I've been asking all day.

    Apparently, that yahoo is Taylor Danforth. That's all I know.
