AnswerBag. Experience Project. SodaHead. Tilde Talk Territory. Yahoo Answers. SandwiCHAT.

If you are the former member of any one of the many Q&A website* that suddenly and without warning shut down, what would you have liked to be able to do if you had had notice of it 30 days or more in advance?

 I belonged to AnswerBag, which bottomed out one day in December of 2014 or 2015.  I wish I could have saved dozens or hundreds of my questions from its pages. They were some of my best offerings, truly. Instead, I’ve had to bug all of you with new ones that I came up with since then, and they’re only one/tenth as good as my 2009-2014/5 works. Grrrrrrrr. 



*DISCLAIMER: The list of websites above, both real and imaginary, is not all-inclusive because I do not know the names of all of them that shut down nor the ways that they shut down.

    Had you brought all of your AB questions here, I and many others would have had to answer them again.

      That is not only correct, it is also as it should be.

       Hmm, not quite an indication that you’re the loyal subject I thought you were. Guards!

    as a former Sodahead. I would have liked the notice for starters, also if I had 30 day notice I would have exchanged emails with people, im still bitter about the whole thing because there are some that ill never speak to again...

    I had gotten a bit sick of EP. I do share Sam's sentiments a bit.
