I also cannot stand yahoo. Not only because of the abuse, which I didn't care to put up with, but also the board layout (an ugly yellow and green). Just not a good site.
FICS is great becau ...[text shortened]... good.
Of course, this site rocks for correspondence; the only site I've subscribed to. 🙂
another, more important problem with yahoo is that the "host" of the game has the ability to kick the oponent out of the game.
