I haven't been here since day one, but I'm pretty sure Google Answers
began back in the '60s in the very, very, very early days of search
engine technology.
Is the question date strange to you because it was New Year's Eve, and
they should have been out partying?

Hi Paf,
I did not realize that Google Answers was THAT old. Kind of thought
it was early 2000. Learned something.
I am just very curious how this question without content suddenly came
out of the distant past. Yes, the 31 Dec is also interesting, but I
was thinking that it was computer-calendar generated, like when one
plugs in a new fax or answering device.
I was sort of imagining that someone "kicked the box" and jarred the
000000 or 000001 question to go online again. ???
It is to me strange that questions pop up as current without any new
posting: clarification, comment, answer or rating. But there has to
be a little mystery about the web and Google. This just seems so
strange.

Greetings all,
Has the volume of questions doubled recently? Seems so, but that is not one.
OKAY, since this question is about G-A anyway, I have boosted the
price a bit and will change the question:
Why did G-A stop showing "sponsored links"?
What can make a question come back to "the top of the pile" although
there has been no new posting of any kind, e.g.:
http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=490738
I don't expect that answers can be documented so just a knowledgable
ones will be satisfactory. :)
