Yep, all gone.
However, there's an Internet function called The Wayback Machine that allows you to search through the archives. It won't help with Ask (I just tried it) but might be of interest to you at some time in the future.
What happened to all of our ask.com question and answers, are they deleted as well?
I would imagine so. Can't see them keeping years of questions on their data banks. All that info is Kaput !
