Yahoo Answers is kicking the bucket. The days of asking Yahoo questions and getting Yahoo comments are over. The name is indicative of the platform, I suppose. Through its illustrious and infamous15 year history, it has produced a number of great moments. But now it\u2019s all coming to an end.<\/span><\/p> Sage was founded in 2020 with the mindset that people need help from knowledgeable experts. What started as a Q&A platform quickly evolved to be a place where experts live, where users bring quality questions, and where trust and identity are key cornerstones to an outstanding user experience.<\/p> With the shut down of Yahoo! Answer comes a refugee user base looking for a new place to ask and answer questions.<\/p> Peter Yeargin, Sage's founder, has offered those users<\/a> a new home where quality is inherent in the platform and software engineering and development<\/strong><\/span><\/em> are first rate citizens in the vision of the company.<\/p> Read on to learn how to download your content in prep for bringing your question and answer history to Sage.<\/p> This will send Yahoo your initial request.

This includes your questions, answers, question lists, answer lists, and any images you\u2019ve saved. Generally, everything you\u2019ve ever posted should be contained.<\/p> You will receive a Zip file with your questions and answers stored as .json files.\u00a0<\/p> Don't worry if you don't know what JSON is. It is just a way for websites and applications to read your data efficiently. After unzipping the files, you'll see the following:<\/p> NOTE:<\/strong> You will only receive content you created.
