Is yahoo answers turning into a socializing site?

been noticing people posting the IM names, I'm a bit freaked out because some quite young people ask very personal questions on here and I don't see it taking long before seedy individuals start trying to get in contact with them in real life or at least trying to initiate cyber sex

I think once I put someone on my contacts or fans list, they're questions get to my profile page and stay there. It is possible, if I only answer questions within my contact list to learn things about the others.

If I read they're questions and answers I could learn inside jokes, etc. So it would seem like socializing if I answer one of their questions with inside info learned from the Q & A.

But I'm a nice person. The creeps in the world would do that in order to get you reveal things like email addresses, etc. It doesn't get funny then. Lots of kids here are very naive and could fall easily into a molester's trap. Personally, I think 13 is too young. (NOW I'm going to get thumbs down! LOL!)

Yes. Many people use yahoo answers primarily for the communication aspects. Similarly, people use yahoo games such as yahoo spades and yahoo chess for the same reason because there are chat boxes there, or yahoo messenger for some serious chatting on-line.

Yahoo solutions isn't something greater beneficial than a protracted style of communique. The communique could be friendly or not, useful or not, exciting or not, etc. Capitalism and socialism may be the two friendly or not, useful or not, exciting or not. etc. reckoning on diverse factors. Does this answer your question?

I'm afraid it's becoming a site for tweens to ask strangers questions such as "could I be pregnant" and "does he like me" ....oh and "am I pretty?"

Those are getting old. Are there any sites where ADULTS can ask each other questions and get mature responses?
