Yahoo Answers is shutting down on 4 May 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.
So what time do you suppose YA will close down?
I'm guessing around 9am when the first YA folks arrive at the office. I'll try to get in a final post before then.
But if not, bye to all the trolls, bye to the people who genuinely wanted to learn, bye to the long-suffering folks who tried to give some sort of sane answers here.
Not sure if I'll join another forum, as I really don't have the time. The beauty of YA was that it was possible to toss together an answer over a coffee and just trust on knowledge rather than spend time preparing to defend every point in the answer.
I am looking into getting a paid gig, probably in book form, so you might have to suffer my rants in that format eventually. Otherwise I have too many other projects to work on to be dispensing wise-cracks, insults and sarcasm online just for the fun of it.
