You don't need Facebook . . . if you already have an Answers.com account.
The skinny is that a new contributor who has not previously signed up, finds, when he attempts to sign up for an account with WikiAnswers, that WikiAnswers gives him only one mechanism for signing up. That mechanism is to use Facebook's signup mechanism.
Create a new account on your computer, use a different browser, or try incognito mode in Google Chrome, when not already in incognito mode.
Then try to sign In to Answers.com. You will have only two choices: Sign in with your already existing Answers.com account, or sign in with Facebook.
There is no option for creating an Answers,com membership from scratch. If you don't have a "grandfathered" Answers.com membership, your only option is to sign in with Facebook. And to do so, you must either have, or must create, a Facebook account.
Yes, members are required to have a Facebook account to log into Answers, and must have a Facebook account to create an account (excluding members that already have had an account before the change was implemented).

REALLY? I am glad I started my Answers "account" a couple of years ago. I have no Facebook account. I have never had a Facebook account. I never will have a Facebook account. I refuse to use Facebook because I know its purpose in "life"!
You used to be able to - I've been here since 2009, and don't need to use Facebook etc to sign in. I still can't understand why Answers changed the rules to force people to sign in via social media !
To access the Wiki Answer platform you need a Facebook account for signing in. Without the Facebook profile you can't access the Wiki Answer platform.
There is no way to sign up for WikiAnswers without using Facebook. All users who wish to make a WikiAnswers account must sign up using a Facebook account.
No, You cannot log on to Facebook from WikiAnswers. You can sign into WikiAnswers using your Facebook account however.
You can't, you need to use your Facebook account to register an account on WikiAnswers.
No. At this point in time the only way to join WikiAnswers is by using a Facebook account.
You can't its so stupid what if you don't have a facebook account i guess you have to make one. Sorry
You cannot improve an answer on WikiAnswers without logging in. However, logging in is easy. All you need is a Facebook account and use that Facebook account to sign into WikiAnswers.
What?
You are not allowed to use Facebook without the sign up procedure. You can access limited Facebook pages without going through the sign up procedure.
You have to be 13 years or older to sign up for an account. You also need to have a Facebook account to sign up.
You can't, you need to link your Facebook account, there's no option to do otherwise.
it needs to access your facebook to get your name and to know if you are of legal age to access the site. It will need your info to sign you up and as your login.
Unfortunately, members that are registered on WikiAnswers (the newer ones) now must use Facebook to register, and log-into WikiAnswers.
