yet sites like ubuntuforums.org always have their questions listed?

Because, unlike ubuntuforums.org; Yahoo will delete questions randomly after a certain amount of time has passed. And I mean randomly. As in, something from 2009 would be removed, but not from earlier.

It's also worse that Yahoo allows people to delete their own questions; as people who have had their questions sit around as solved will come back to delete them. I know, because I've met a lot of people who will change their thread topic opening post to "DELETE THIS PLEASE" when their question has been solved; and won't let people know what the question was.
