I have been out of town for the past several days and have not yet caught up with the back emails.? Probably someone else has already pointed this out, but there is already a place where the entire Group can be moved, including files, photos and posts all of the way back to the beginning.? The site is groups.io and they have three “tiers” of membership, based on how much storage space is needed.? The first tier, which is either 0.5 gb or 1.0 gb (reason that I can’t recall is that one group that I helped move was comfortably below 0.5 and another was above 1.0)? but anyway, the smallest is free.? The next is in round numbers $10/month.? Then there is a third significantly more expensive.? For the larger of the two groups, I “passed the hat” and got enough donations to cover the monthly cost for more than five years.? For the smaller, we didn’t need to so didn’t.? Anyway, you basically must be an Owner of the Yahoo group that is to be moved.? They ask you to add a Member (name provided by them) and give “him” certain Moderator rights.? The owner applies for membership at groups.io and adds and sets up a group.? When he/she has everything set up, including the tier size details, groups.io is notified and in a few days, they copy everything in the old group to the new one, including all of the members except as I recall any who were in either the Bouncing or the Banned lists.? Then the Owner logs into the old group on Yahoo and locks it down so that no orphan posts, files or photos are later added to the old group.? When we moved the largest group, it took groups.io two tries to get it all, thanks to Yahoo problems.? But we did get it all.
