does anyone know why yahoo answers got shut down?

i know they probably wont tell us but back in nov i got a call from a policeman saying someone from ya was threatening me and he wondered if i was okay, and i wondered if others were being threatened too and if thats why they shut it down, i took a couple of wks off so the person would lose me, i miss helping people in the family section there and have been using it since 2008, so does anyone know why?

Wanted to make room for better service venues and products. Free content was not making them that much money anymore. Plus the merge forced them to do it.

@Zonuss Yahoo has been making bad decision after bad decision for years. They killed their relevance. I didn't know about the merger.
Remb Yahoo classifieds, Yahoo games, Yahoo dating, it went on and on.
