Do you feel Yahoo! Answers is a ligitimate question and answer forum?

Justin you are right. I think that any forum that doesn't screen its members is destined to become a useless cesspool of idiocy and personal attacks. Yahoo answers never was and never will be a forum for obtaining useful information or exchanging ideas. Instead it is a playground for chuckle heads.\n\nNow having said that, I must admit that I am guilty of contributing to the degradation of this forum. You are welcome to play if you want, just don't expect any enlightenment here.\n\nPeace, bro.

I think people are more enthusiastic about answering questions!!\n\nThe reason people are enthusiastic about answering questions on this portal is that we, human beings, like to consider ourselves to be intelligent creatures and this is one forum where we can proove our knowledge and wisdom.\n\nAnd the reason why people are enthusiastic in asking questions is that they want answers from real people instead of having to use a search engine.

Not really.  Your questions and answers are a hoot though

Actually, I don't sit around all day and answer questions - many times I review what has been answered and I try to find questions that I might want to have answered.  It really depends upon how one uses this forum - it could be quite an educational tool.\nThere are all kinds of people responding to questions and I've seen some professionals give their advice freely so there is a chance for almost every aspect here.

No, because you have question and we have answers... they may be some really stupid answer for people who just want points, or just sincere answers for people that want to help others... no matter how anonymous it may be...

Not yet, but if I stay on here long enough and get to know the answerer's, I could see that happening.For now  I am happy when I get knowledgeable or witty or even funny answers!

Yep! I agree 100%. I began participating in the "Answers" thing during the Beta phase and thought we were asking for people's own opinions or having our brains picked for what we knew from our own experiences and/or education. I lost most of my enthusiasm for the site when it became apparent that answers were being researched and sources cited.

If I feel the question is seeking a long, detailed, intelligent answer, I will often shy away from it.  I think I tend to feel that I don't have enough knowledge on certain topics to be able to contribute a decent answer.  I am too intimidated at times, by all the wonderful, intelligent answers I see to some of the questions asked on here.  There are also just as many amazingly good questions asked as well.  I often times, just enjoy reading the questions and answers.  Many times, I also think there have already been enough answers to a certain question, for me to add my own opinion.

I  love to be chosen for the best answer. I feel like my answers were of help to them. I enjoy answering questions and I learn a lot on here. I hardly ever ask a question so I don't worry about the points

My questions have been opinion rather than seeing a solution to a problem. I hope I've been about to help others in my answers. Some have said so, and I've been surprised at how often my questions have been selected as best answer. That makes me feel good, as though maybe I was able to help someone. \n\nBut I do love the humorous answers. Some of them have been so funny that I've had tears running down my face.

=how about Yahoo Answers?

You mean the ones that post things like "Thanks for the 2 points" and so forth. I understand your frustration. It almost makes me wish there was a penalty for posting an answer. Or maybe, you don't get anything for an answer unless it is chosen as a best answer.\n\nI don't know. The way I see it, Yahoo! has to make the final decision.

I don't think its either.  I think its the newness of Answers is wearing off.  When I first was introduced to Yahoo-Answers, I was totally smitten.  How fun!  How many things to learn and talk about.  Then I was addicted, checking my questions several times a day.  Surfing through the questions, looking for one I had the perfect answer to.  Now I'm finding it not so exciting, a lil boring.  So maybe you just need a break.  Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Yahoo! Answers is an online community in which participants can ask and answer questions on a wide range of topics, from the serious to the irresistibly trivial. \n\nHow trivial is anyones guess.
