“To that end, we have decided to shift our resources away from Yahoo Answers to focus on products that better serve our members and deliver on Yahoo's promise of providing premium trusted content,” Yahoo said.

That's corporate speak.    It's more likely they are simply losing money on yahoo answers.    Finance is almost always why anything starts up or closes down.

It's really unnecessary that Y!A is shutting down... my only guess is that Yahoo! are looking for ways to profit and by shutting down Y!A, it gives them some money advantage... still not fair though. I really like this place, with its' ups and downs.

They don't want anybody to have a forum to question our fascist leadership.
