I was a YA user until I moved to answerbag. But I find that they have become relay rude. I don't know why. I also have had problems on that site where I ask a question and they give me only one word for an answer and I spent like 20 minuets writing that question and I sometimes get no answers. People are also very rude on there and I think answerbag is slightly better but I am not sure. I wonder what problems had you have on yahoo answers? Rules on this topic: 1. No sarcastic answers with only one word or they will be reported. 2. No rude answers 3. No one word answers..
Y!A has always been weird, although it has somehow managed to get even weirder with every passing year. Most of that can probably be traced to the fact that most of its users can be summed up as: 1. Children and teenagers 2. Extremely obsessive stay at home moms 3. Trolls As a result at best you get the type of questions and answers you'd expect to hear in a high school cafeteria or PTA meeting. At worst you get utter nonsense spewed by the ocean of trolls that inhabit Y!A. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that Y!A boasts not only one of the highest troll densities of any web forum, but quite possibly even manages to out-troll "that site".

some of the advice on that site sucks, for example, my dualshock controller got wet and i asked how to dry it out, and a genius, don't know if he was serious, told me to put the controller in the microwave....i was like WTF:?
I never ask questions but I will look at previously asked questions. Surprisingly enough it's a good source for chemistry help. But yea, it's always been weird. A good YLYL thread has a couple yahoo answers pictures.

That's not surprising at all. Make any forum with a board/category devoted entirely to science and math and that board will get flooded with homework questions (or rather "do my homework for me" requests). Leave it up for a couple years and never delete any posts and it's actually very likely that your board will have every standard homework problem's solution on it (no, seriously. If I google any question in my physics textbook, for example, I can be almost guaranteed to find at least one hit that has the exact same question solved).
