Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

What do you like about this site?

I like the fact that it's free and I get to help people. When I get a "thank you so much!!!!" reply, my chips get excited. Also it kills boredom when I'm not in any meetings at work.

The point system is kinda cool, but I think only 20% of the people on this site actually care about the points. Some just want to "Wam Bam, thank you Cheeky Sam"....and they run with the answer. Some just like to type "Thank you for the 2 points", then off they go to a different question.

Oh and there are some who just love to email me nasty things and of course, their email is not verified so I can't reply back. How cute.

All in fun, yea?

    yup!!

    however I did care about points. I wanted to get to level five so at least I didnt feel like such a newbie on this thing.

    now that I've reached my goal I dont care what happens, I will just keep gaining and answering qeustions.

    I enjoy this site, too. I don't think that people are always using it for the reasons that Yahoo intended (some are using it for personal ads, which is pathetic), but I like that I can ask a question and someone usually answers it within about 5 minutes. Plus it's nice to help people. A lot of people have serious problems and do need serious answers. It's nice to know someone out there will give them an answer, even if it isn't exactly the answer they had in mind.

    I have met a few really cool people on this site, and that was not my intention,I think I got hooked when I recieved my first best answer,now, I have a 360 page, and stay connected to some of the answerers that I like fro0m this site, I used to get alot of hate emails also, from the christian users because of my answers, and of course they would change their profile so I could not email them back either, so don't feel to special, I have been condemned to hell on this site more than I have in real life, and have a few stalkers who have emailed me and let me know that all my answers are being bookmarked on their computers, it is definately a most interesting experience using this site,and amusing as well

    I like when my answer gets chosen has best not the 10 pts cause those don't matter but the fact that something I said was useful to someone else that makes ya feel good and it is neat to see the many different opinions on this site.

    I just like trying to help others and share what little knowledge I have. I try to avoid posting just for the sake of posting, but if I think I have something to add, then I'll post it. As stated before though, it is a great way to fill a little time before punching out at work.

    I didn't know about this site until a week ago and here I am on level 2...............Its just too addictive.

    This site is great for fun but if you are looking out seriously for answers then you must go somewhere else.

    Actually, I like this forum, and also like to help people. The most problem is: My English is bad.

    I like that you can help people coming from the same perspective and can touch someone with your advice and vice-versa.
