    i guess for 14 days it will be an education session as people will simply be able to read questions and answers. and not ask and answer. And then after it will be no more. So who cares about points now.

    It sounds like they will cease to exist, based on what the message says.

    I'm not positive, but we should be able to view the content via the Google Search Engine.

    No, as stated above YA is "shutting down" on 4 May. Info at the help link in the banner states:

    "May 4th - The website won't be accessible. If you try to access Yahoo Answers on May 4th you'll be redirected to the Yahoo homepage."

    On my screen, it says that YAnswers goes to read-only on April 20th . . . . and shuts down on May 4th.  That seems clear to me . . . . . . no tours or sailings on the Titanic after it sank.

  • We don't know if they will keep everything online to look at, or if they will erase it. You have to wait and see.
