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.

Yahoo Answers has had its time. It's been on the web for years. Everything good must come to an end. Is it that hard to understand?

Yahoo Answers has given us a lot of joy over the years. For many of us, it got us introduced to being able to ask questions anonymously. And it let us get our own information that way.

Don't blame it on politics. Whether you're left or you're right, don't blame it on people's political dogma. The mods have given us a good time waster over the years and now it's time to say goodbye.

I've met a lot of interesting people on here during my time. A lot of arguments. A few friends I've made. I wouldn't have taken our conversations back for anything because everyone has their own unique point of view.

Thank you so much for the fun you've given us over the years, Yahoo Staff. You gave us a nice safe space to come and be ourselves. We are very grateful.

And hey, Reddit is always available if you want to continue soapboxing!!! :)

    Much like the USA. we’ve had a good run. We’re a great nation whose citizens had more freedoms and opportunities than any other country. But our time is ending.  Stopping yahoo answers is symbolic of what is going on in our country now.  It’s not unexpected. We will see many more drastic changes coming in the next few years.  Good luck.
