Yahoo's attempt to compete with Hulu and Netflix (and home of new episodes of Community) has closed down after two years.

If Yahoo used the same technology for Stream they use to run their email platform, all that was probably available to watch was either a scrambled signal or snow...

They did offer 'Community' season six ... inside the US only. Part of their downfall may have been presenting the impression that they were ignoring the majority of their shows' fanbases by geoblocking their content.

Thankfully, after almost a year's wait, Season Six is coming to R1 DVD in early March.

That said, probably no movie anytime soon (their 'six seasons and a movie' campaign).
