Yeah, I'm not sure... the website says Google Answers has been retired.

Search or browse the existing Google Answers index by using the search box above or the category links below.

Looks like they are keeping an archive.

EDIT:
I don't know why they stopped it - Google Answers seemed like a good idea.

There was a post on the official Google Blog about their reasoning.

I tried to find it again, but I kept getting 404 errors when I tried to read the archives:

Quote:

The requested URL was not found on this server. Please visit the Blogger homepage or the Blogger Knowledge Base for further assistance.

Then I realised that the URL of the archive drop down box was pointing to "http://googleblog.blogspot.com/rchives/2006_12_01_googleblog_archive.html"
Seems like there's a missing "a" in the link. "rchives" should be "archives".
It then works fine.
