Any ideas on why Yahoo Answers skipped their birthday celebration in December 2010?

Maybe due to all their recent layoffs the people at Yahoo aren't as enthused as they used to be.

I have it from a reliable source they used to give out coffee cups when you get to Level 6 and they don't do that any more either. Guess they're not into celebrating as much as they used to.

If you missed the announcement and the cake, then I think we all did.

They may have stepped out for another party and just forgot to return to the Y A party, or it may still be coming up yet

As far as I know, they didn't post an announcement of their "birthday" at all. I look at the YA blog on a fairly regular basis (geeky, I know), and I didn't see any mention of it.

Too busy trying to make a profit instead of celebrating.

Most likely they had a fantastic set of plans.

Then selected staff to enact those plans, right before they laid them off. :-(

I think they're finally seeing the answers they're getting now, and they're like........wow.

That may have made them sad and enough to not post it, but it's just a guess.

I didn't read anything about it on our blogs either.

I have noticed that blogs are not all International, we don't get all of the US ones, and no doubt you don't get all of ours.

I believe they just forgot it!
