I'm thinking of recreating yahoo answers. Good idea? ?

I'm thinking writing a website copying the pre 2010 version of yahoo answers with every category including this one(gender studies). I'll call it 'oldschool answers' You all can join. But should I do it?

I'm going to do this after this YA shuts down.

    If you have the resources, you might as well make it better than Y!A ever was

    How are you going to make people know it exists?

    You could try setting up a Forum on ProBoards, though you'd have to sift through all the trolling and all the hate.  Good luck to you!  I may come looking for you and your fun place!

    Unless you have access to a few million dollars to spend on developers, servers and hosting, you won't be able to make it work.

    Sure. Just don’t hire anyone that lists yahoo as a former employer and there will be a lot of former employees applying. Hire former google, Reddit, quora, ask employees. They’re more competent.
