Goodbye, Yahoo Answers?

[pacman000]

Yahoo announced they were closing their Q&A service. Is anyone trying to archive the threads there? I’ve been trying to add threads to the Wayback Machine, & it looks like most have never been backed up before.

 

[Action!]

I'll miss Yahoo Answers.

 

[pacman000]

I will too.

I'm worried about the number of pages which don't seem to be archived. Would you mind saving a few URLs i the Wayback Machine? Wayback Machine

If you want to save a bunch of pages at once, search Y! Answers using DuckDuckGo, then copy & past DuckDuckGo's query URL into the text box here: Wayback Machine Check off "Save Outlinks" & press save.

I think Quora over took it.

Yeah, pretty much.

Problem with Quora, you can't browse without an account.

They really should've just removed that aspect to make it more friendly to people who don't have an account there.

At least Yahoo Answers is accessible on the Wayback Machine. Quora, well...

 

[pacman000]

The main page of Yahoo Answers is accessible, but a lot of questions don’t seem to be archived.

(I probably sound like a broken record at this point, but no one seems to be doing anything about it. I’ve tried submitting a few pages manually, but it takes a lot of time to crawl through the site by hand.)

Sorry this is late, but Yahoo! Answers closed down on May 4 of this year.
