" Yahoo! Answers: It's Yahoo. It's been acquired."

That's the kind of common sense and succinctness I like to see. It's Yahoo so mismanagement or disappearance is a high risk. It's been acquired. Assets often get gutted or shelved after that. Two statements in five words tell you everything you need to know about why Yahoo Answers might need a mirror. :)
