Yahoo Answers is shutting down on April 20th - Chance to get some more debaters and donaters!

Yahoo Answers is shutting up shop on April 20th.

At the moment the Yahoo Answers question and answers site is full of panicking users desperately asking for ideas for an alternative.

As it says on the tin.

This is a real chance to get lots more debaters and potential donaters.

Everyone should go to Yahoo Answers and answer as many questions as possible leaving a link to debateart.

DebateArt isn't an "answer question" community. Its a debate and discussion community - though the niches are similar they aren't identical. Furthermore.... As some people have already pointed out, Quora is much more suited than DebateArt for it. I actually use Quora, and wouldn't really consider using DebateArt for the same stuff - I do admittedly only use it for my comic questions, but the point remains.

Quora can have its moments but it often strikes me as an intellectual circle jerk. Lot's of very conceited individuals...

I don't disagree - lol - hence why I only use it for obscure comic stuff

I don't see it as a debating site at all - its more like a - hey-what do other people think. Rarely are answers super cogent.

They shut down comments on their articles last year. 

Their platform is still just "what will I do now" question after question.

I've never used Yahoo Answers, so I don't know enough to miss it. However, I do agree with Chris in regard to Quora. I will seldom use it as a source in debate, though I have been known to use Wiki, in spite of my well known opposition to it. Sometimes, it is a valid source [based entirely on finding support of other websites which are not as easily referenced, but I have at least looked]. But, let's recall that when I started debating in high school, or had to write an essay, I didn't have an Internet; I had a library with stacks. Some of you may have never darkened the door of one. Too bad. How many of you have personal, physically visited the Library of Congress [actually, several buildings]

That sounds amazing! I regularly use libraries when I'm researching history and records, but I've never gotten the opportunity to visit the Library of Congress. 

Something to which to look forward. Definitely a bucket list item.
