    Yahoo Answers has gone down the tubes ever since Verizon bought them about a year ago.

    They evidently have stripped all maintenance of their servers so very few questions even get posted anymore. In "Cars & Transportation" there used to be at least 20 questions posted every hour, now it's 2-4 per hour, sometimes even less.

    I think Verizon wants to "off" Y.A.
