Have you noticed how all these astronomy questions are interfering and drowning out the all-important 2012 Doomsday questions?
What say ye, one and all?

YES - also one for "did Apollo 11 really land on the moon" and "are UFOs real?"
PLEASE.

YES YES YES
2012 should have it's own category on Yahoo. That would free up space in the Astronomy & Space category for legitimate Astronomy & Space questions.
Maybe the 2012 category could be titled: Hoaxes and Conspiracy Theories.
And maybe the "Aliens Crashed at Roswell and Gov't Covered It Up" questions could be moved there too.
There should also be a separate category for "UFO = little green men, aliens, alien spaceships, and alien abductions".
-edit-
After reading Nick S below, I have to agree. At least here in the "Astronomy & Space" category, people can get legitimate answers and hopefully be disuaded from the belief that the world will end in 2012.

Yes.
It is very difficult to get yahoo to make any changes or improvements to the system. However, if one were to make the suggestion and enough of us gave it a thumbs up vote, they may look into the possibility. (I don't mean on the question here, but on yahoo's suggestion board on their forum page.)
I'm not sure where end-of-the-world theories should go. Perhaps under mythology or religion.
Good luck to whoever wants to draft the request. Maybe title it '2012 category' so the rest of us can find it and add our comments to it.
-- I have already tried several times to get them to redirect ufo/alien questions to Alternative Paranormal but they stated 'we give questioners a choice of 5 categories and let them pick' so for whatever reasons, yahoo is reluctant to change.

If you really do some investigating. You'll find that every so many years churches cook up nonsense, let it build, make a killing from the collection plates, and laugh all the way to the bank.
Doesn't anyone remember y2k?.... Haley's Comet?
It's Psychology.
In some weird way people think that if they die when the human race dies, it will somehow cancel their death out.
Also, "The Son of God Complex" everyone secretly believes their god will spare them to re- populate the earth.
Religion the easies think to exploit ever.
There are no prophecies. Just ourselves. 5.5 billion years from now the sun will destroy our solar system.

It shouldn't really have a category at all. It is nonsense. But it seems there are so many people who have been hoodwinked by it all that there should be somewhere where they can go.
However, if nobody with any sense goes to the category, the thing is going to blow up even more ridiculous than it already has.

They already have one...for mythology. The whole thing gets more attention then it deserves. It is another scam to prey on the members of the gullible public.

Hi. Your real question should be "Should Y!A have a 'trolling' category. Most of these question are simply trolls. (Do not feed the trolls!)
