Is there anyway we can save Yahoo Answers?

Oh let them go. There is light at the end of the tunnel 

LOL....imo only.....It is a PRIVATE BUSINESS who has made a decision after much deliberation I am sure.

 New laws are coming out that will hold social media sites responsible ( libel) to clean up what is posted ( racism. slander, abuse ,porn etc...FAST or face fines = $$$$$$$$$$$

Unfortunately no there is nothing anyone can do to stop Yahoo Answers from being Taken down

No.                                

unfortunately it is their company and they can do what they want with it.

Nope.  Verizon is a big, faceless, corporation that wouldn't care one bit about the passionate pleas of a few die-hard YA users.

A few years ago, Verizon bought Yahoo! and it has apparently decided that YA is not worth maintaining anymore. YA has been in gradual decline for years.  The number of monthly active users is way down compared to ten years ago, and the ad revenue has undoubtedly fallen through the floor as well.  The cost-benefit ratio for Verizon just doesn't balance anymore in favor of keeping YA.

Someone could of course make a new Q&A site to replace YA that is completely independent of Verizon, though competing with a more established player like Quora and attracting a lot of users would be a major challenge.  But there's another problem with that idea.  Given the political climate in the USA, it seems that changes will soon be made to Section 230, which refers to a law which protects websites from becoming legally liable for illegal content posted by their users. Any change making that law more restrictive (or possibly repealing it altogether) would make it much riskier to operate YA (or any Q&A site for that matter unless both questions and answers are carefully screened and pre-approved by moderators, which would be a lot of work.  I'm thinking Verizon saw the writing on the wall and decided to pull the plug before the law gets changed.
