At one time, you could, but you no longer can. Clicking "Sign up" brings up a page which uses Facebook to authorize your usage of this site.
If you do not have a Facebook account, the only other thing you can do on the page you get when clicking sign up is to join Facebook.
I don't know if that is what the Answers.com originators intended, but that is a change that their programmers have made.
Because of that, you can no longer join answers unless/until you have a Facebook account.
Facebook is becoming a de-facto single-sign-on mechanism.

You have to be the first person to type anything, because if you aren't then you'll have to join stuff. Look at me, I'm typing right now. I didn't have to join anything.
Nope Yes, you can look at Facebook without joining, but you will not have access to many profiles and items that are reserved for those who are members.
No. You can come on this site, create a username, and log in all without Facebook.
Ahhh..... Join Facebook.
Yes you can!
Without clarifying what "wiki" you are joining, it is not clear whether or not you need a Facebook account to do so. For example, you do not need a Facebook account to become a member of Wikipedia. However, you need a Facebook account to join WikiAnswers.
Click on sign in on Facebook. Then quickly refresh. And there you have it. Hope the llamas will save you!
NO, Facebook is absolutely free!
No, WikiAnswers (Answers.com) now requires members to use their Facebook account to create an account with Answers.
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.
Without clarifying what you are joining, it is not clear whether or not you need a Facebook account to do so. For example, you do not need a Facebook account to join in a game of baseball, you just show up and ask the people there. However, you need a Facebook account to join WikiAnswers.
There used to be an option where you could join Wiki Answers without having to connect Facebook. Unfortunately, they have removed this feature.
Linking your Answers account to your Facebook page is completely optional. When you sign-up, you are given two options. While you can choose to "sign up with Facebook" and use that information to access the site, this is not necessary. Rather you can create a username and password for the site, and use these to log-in when you return to the site. Facebook is simply linked to the site in order to make logging in easier, if you choose to use it.
