after answers shuts down can we still see the Q&As or are they all getting wiped?

Yahoo mismanaged Yahoo Answers and that's one of the chief reasons it's shutting down. No one wants to ask questions on a site that puts the question in the wrong category.  I remember a few years ago when questions weren't showing up and this problem was fairly constant for a few months. Or how about the fact that you need an Ad-Blocker to block scripts what massively slow the webpage down.

Then again, all of the other services that Yahoo had has shut down because Yahoo kept effing things up.

Yahoo is wiping everything on May 4th.

you have until may 4th to view them

Read the announcement at the top of the page.  They will block any new questions or answer tomorrow.  They will still be visible until May 4th, had which point the site will gone from the Internet.

After May 4th they will all be wiped out.

Did you not read the box on the top of every page on this site?
