I am sure gonna miss yahoo answers

Fuck em. they banned my ass anyway.

I haven't been on Yahoo Answers since my teenage years. I used to hang out in the Wrestling category answering and asking questions about WWE related stuff. I also had an alt account where I'd troll the forum. XD

I used to like it before it started to attract the most idiotic people on the planet. I hope this site doesn't become like that.

Yep

That site was dead no one used it anymore, their points system sucked (that's actually why it died imo) and they didn't care to advertise it anywhere to keep it alive

Screw that place. I'm glad it's being shut down. It's such a toxic place.

Me too, I was pretty sad to hear that considering I've been on there since about the mid to late 2000's. It was definitely troll infested and seemed to have gone pretty dead in certain topics, but it still held a place of nostalgia for me and going through some of my old posts and answers brought back so many memories I had forgotten about. It was nice to look back on how the person I was 10 years ago saw things.

I also think there aren't nearly enough general question asking sites that are any good. This is one of the few ones. I dislike Quora because it's kind of weirdly set up IMO and you don't have anonymity unless you use a fake name, plus it seems like it's more of a place where people try to show off and thump their chests more than anything. Reddit is okay, but certain Subreddits suck (especially with the crap where they have a million ridiculous rules for posting and delete posts for the most stupid reasons) and there's definitely an issue with hive mind/herd mentality (though I guess you can say that applies to many sites and even in real life sometimes). I wish there was also a way to have a private post history on there since some butthurt weirdos on there are obsessed with digging up people's post history and trying to twist things or insult them.

They killed it years ago when they changed the whole layout to deter trolling. Funny enough the top questions have been nothing but race-baiting type shit every time I’ve checked it since then. Maybe that’s why they’re shutting it down.

That still exists and people still use it?????

Pfft, people moved to quora long time ago.

I thought they already had shut it down. They were talking about it.

I never really used Yahoo answers. Why is Yahoo answers going away?
