More than sad. Heartbroken.

I'm not sad because this place was abused and misused - questions asked were continually off subject having nothing whatsoever to do with Religion & spirituality a lot of the time - for example, there's one on there now who asked what colour someone's penis was?
Well what the heck does that have to do with anything? and anyway it was rare that anyone awarded the best answers. In addition, people were abusive to others, so good riddance I say.

I'm ambivalent. As a level 7 user who used to be a regular contributor to R&S years ago, Y!A still has considerable nostalgic value for me. On the other hand, I quit back in 2017 when it became painfully evident that the trolls had taken over and hardly anyone was asking serious, thoughtful, questions anymore. I've only been back a few times (including now after I heard Y!A was shutting down) and I'm grateful I stopped wasting my time on this site. The fact it's shutting down will prevent me from ever getting tempted to return in the future when I could be doing more productive things with my life.

Bittersweet. I understand why and I saw this coming for the past few years
