I wonder if we are allowed to say Goodbye?
I have used this board since 2005, when it opened. It was interesting and to the point. A lot of people gave up when the Board became a home for potty talk and nasty American politics sniping.
To all the people who answered my questions with useful information, and who commented sensibly on my answers - thanks, all the best, stay safe out there.
Goodbye.
Thinkingtime.

How do you reflect back to your experience on Yahoo Answers?
This will be my very last question.
Yahoo Answers helped me get through a lot of tough times, it certainly changed the way I am today for the better.

How can I archive all my questions with answers all at once and how can I do that quickly if possible?
Hi. In a few days this site will be read-only and it will eventually shut down in May.
I have been a member of this site since '06 and I had more than one account. I don't remember every account I had nor do I remember what email addresses and screennames I used to set them up with but I know a few of them didn't last long. I know I asked 100's of questions at least, maybe even 1000's of questions on THIS account and on the very first account I used here.
How can I archive all the questions with answers all at once on THIS account and on the other accounts I had, and how can I do that quickly if possible?
I have a wealth of info that was provided in answers to questions on THIS account and on other accounts I created. I don't want to lose it.
Please help. Thank you.

Will Yahoo survive as a search engine and mail ?
This is very likely going to be the last question that I am going to ask, but in just less than 2 days, Yahoo Answers will become a read only thread, and then on May 4th at who knows what time, it will be shutdown entirely. So can Yahoo survive as search engine and mail only, since Yahoo shutdown Yahoo Groups last December. So how long do you think it will be, before you get rid of your Yahoo account, will you wait until at least May 4th, so you can see what will be seen if anything in place of Yahoo Answers, or just be a blank white page, or will be a message that will say that Yahoo Answers no longer exists.
