Why is the "Questions" portion of this website not called "Yahoo! Questions"?

why not just call it "Yahoo Glitches" and get it over with. ?

Because you can't have answers without questions first. It would be redundant to say there were questions too.

Because ANSWERS to the questions are what has the value. People come here to find ANSWERS, either by asking a question themselves or by doing a search of the YA database to see if someone else already asked the same question and received useful answers.

Calling it Yahoo Questions doesn't make the site sound as appealing or useful.

Because thats not what the purpose of this Site is for the purpose of this Site is to get the Answers to your Question

So Yahoo Answers or to me anyways makes sense

One of the original site taglines was something like "A dictionary of useful pre-answered questions".

That's why there are so many restrictions in the rules, there are only supposed to be questions that can have answer useful to others.

Of course the trolls just converted it in to a cesspit...
