Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now 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.
Not a question, but a farewell post?
Dear Yahoo, Thank you so much for creating this site. Over its 16 years of operation, this site has helped me and countless others with a wide variety of things. Since the site will be in read only mode two days from now, this is my final post. I appreciate the fact this site has been running for 16 years, as mentioned above. It is a sad reality to see such a useful and friendly site at least from my perspective, say its final farewell.
If possible I would love to take ownership of the site, and have a copy of it in all its entirety so that maybe some day, I could relaunch it, and again provide users a great experience like you have done here. I promise I would take great care of it, and archive it someplace safe. ( on a side note, I do not have much money) If you would like to contact me about this I would be glad to talk to you about this, you can contact me in the following ways:
Twitter: @toshibalaptops3
Reddit: u/potatomolehill
Discord server: https://discord.gg/efp68mCDmQ
Other communities I own: https://neeva.com/spaces/F5saVvevP299zjEbkh3ZsmzL8...
I would also like to web scrape this site, which is basically making an entire copy of the site (I have no idea about databases or any of that)
If you could please contact me above I would dearly appreciate it.
Thank You,
A user that will sincerely miss this site.
