I like Yahoo Answers a lot, and I want Google Answers to be back again. I'm probably the most dedicated person in the world to such a cause. My petition: http://feeds.feedburner.com/answersnow It would be a good way to build back links. I think Google Groups is a bit spammy - maybe I've checked out the wrong ones or something? Do you have an opinion on Google groups. I have little experience with it.
unless you are some kind of big shot, google don't care about any of us. Good luck with your quest though.
I don't even think a court case would get Google's attention. They rarely comment on things, but Google Groups might be a good place to start.
I'm really only using Yahoo for its answers thing, and I like it. So if Google will restart that they could win some people over but yea the chances are slim that you are gonna make a difference but good luck.
When an organization change a rule specially if it is Google, it might not care even if a Million request for the same thing. Blocking/Un blocking happens when a rule changes and believe me they are not changed that often.
If you like QA of yahoo- use it. what a problem? Google seems didn't have enough profits with it and decided to close it.
