If you go to all the unanswered and answered questions, why are there none asked or answered before March 18th ('07)? Are the ones before this deleted due to inactivity? See answer for examples and links.

I asked a similar question to this one awhile ago, but got no satisfactory answers. I can only assume that as the date is different in your question as it is to mine that they keep the database to a certain size and that means there is a constant clean out going on. http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/312545 Six months seems like a short time though.

No, it is just because in this list, only the "last" answered respectively unanswered questions are listed. If you look at the "Greatest Q&A", you will see that there have a lot more pages. Of course, these are then sorted according to popularity (=points), not chronologically. By the way, the last in those lists are questions with -7 points (answered) respectively -3 (unanswered), so all questions are also not listed there. For instance the question with the most points at the moment is this one: http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/86908 and it was "Asked Nov 15 2006 11:06PM " Anyway, if you want to find the oldest questions, just give their number as an URL. For instance here is the first question ever asked: What is the meaning of life? http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1 it was "Asked May 27 2003 12:58PM" This is the second question: Is there a god, and either way, how do we know? http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/2 it was "Asked Jun 28 2003 2:40PM" You can even find questions which have been rejected as nonsense, for instance this one: http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/332262
