Should the owners of Yahoo pay us compensation because they are closing answers down ?

Yes, I got the email saying Level 7 users were being awarded prizes on our points.

nope it was a free  site for all

Yes they are our intellectual property. 

Compensation? My ars! I'd hope people who were kicked off the site for damn-all (by misandrist dykes, misogynist wanks and the lot in between) would be given a mea culpa by Yahoo.

No, perhaps they should compensate the victims of racism and trolling in here though.  See what happens when people do not play nicely children?  Now you know why your parents take your toys away until you learn to share hey.  

No, yahoo should seek psychiatric help, fair enough they don't want it any more for their reasons be them good or bad, but to just let it die without even trying to sell it, that's just plain out and out stupid when it's a business that's being making money for years.

IMO one of the main reasons people come to Yahoo is to gauge public opinion not so much those of the journalist.

Compensation for... what?

Yahoo Answers has been free to use. They're a private company. They owe you nothing...

No.

They are getting rid of the moronic anonymous posters who are constantly being racist and abusive etc.

These people will not be able to find another Q&A site that will put up with them and these sites are properly moderated.

NOT ONLY A HOBBY AND RELEASE, but a pastime also. I have been deprived of three meaningful things in my life in one fell swoop. Yahoo Answers GONE FOR GOOD. or for bad. FORBADE! OH! What will I do??!? WHERE will I go? No more helping people understand that grass clippings are TRULY worthless as a commercial commodity. Never again extolling the wonder of visiting WEST TEXAS INTERSTATE 10. Unable forever to be intimate with your thoughts on your upcoming ROOT CANAL! WOE IS ME!!

AND OH! The endless night hours perusing and learning AUSTRALIAN SOCIAL FUNCTIONING with Aussie Devil, Aussie Battler, Grubbie, the Ubiquitous Anonymous, Centrelink, kangaroos, kinkajews, and a case of baby ruths...

One centillion Australian Dollars is fare compensation.

A million dollars each.
