Answer Hamster: What silliness has possessed you?

What was wrong with the old Yahoo Answers? This new format today is just terrible.....it gives only 1/3rd the screen to the actual answers and clutters up the rest with extraneous garbage.

I also dont see anywhere to post links and follow up information.

I also suspect that the "Top Contributor" award has gone away...

I am too disturbed to write more right now,....but I will later!

Meanwhile junk this pitiful attempt of people in marketing and design to justify themselves.......

50,000 points, 2600 plus Best Answers and 7 plus years......I am appalled.......

    $$$ happened.

    surely with your 50,000 points, 2600 BAs and 7 yrs you have figured out:

    1. you are asking others users here, not the CEO of Yahoo.

    2. It's a Yamster, not a Hamster.

    3. the difference between a knowledge-seeking question and a rant.

    4. no one is forcing you to be here.

    Why get yourself worked into a dither where you are too appalled and disturbed to "write more" on a Q&A site that you are free to leave at anytime?

    Nothing was wrong with the format. That's why they 'fixed' it.

    Isn't that always the way?

    If you hate it, let 'em know. Join the 'rantfest' here:
