Yahoo Answers is shutting down on 4 May 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.
Have you seen people ask questions that haven’t been on Yahoo! Answers for years?
I have seen users from 10 years ago come back on Yahoo! Answers just today to get their final questions in probably because they know Yahoo! Answers is shutting down. I have even seen same questions from years ago too. Have you seen questions from 10 years ago and do you recognize anyone you seen from years ago that came back on so they can participate before Yahoo! Answers shuts down?

Some have stated they only returned because they heard it was closing, a trip down memory lane!
The end of an era!
There is more activity then normal.
But there is an attempt being made to archive yahoo answers.
As it was a rite of passage!

I haven't specifically seen that yet, but am sure it is happening. As suggested, it's made the news that Y!A is closing and that is sure to prompt some people to come around for a last look.

Yeah, I've seen a few people say that.
They heard yahoo was shutting down, and supposedly forgot all about Yahoo and remembered that they still had an account......
