Adam,

I did just that for a group about a year ago.?? The owner had been locked out of the group and the other moderators were only alter egos and were also locked out.? The owner didn't really know where to go and since he couldn't get in, couldn't give me moderator or owner status.

What I did was download the group with PGOffline, which costs about $30, and got all 27000 messages and the photos and files.? While it was a lot of work to post the photos and files to the newly created groups.io file, I got it done, but I still am looking for a solution that will make the old database of messages available.? It is basically a model train history group and those old messages contain valuable historical information so I don't want them to be lost.? By the way all those photos and files now show to be posted by me and not the original poster.? If anyone wants to change anything, I give them access back.? I would do it for all, but it is a time consuming process as you need to give access to both the album and each photo.

Messages on the old Yahoo group were unmoderated so it still functioned as a means of communicating with the members, whom we invited to join the new group.?? Out of 689 members on Yahoo, only 100 or so joined the new group.?? We are now at 112 members.? What was left at Yahoo were those who probably weren't interested anymore and those who were marginally interested.?? Since no one had the power to shut down or disable posting on the old group, our biggest problem has turned out to be those latter members who were blissfully unaware that anything had happened, except that there were few messages in the Yahoo group.?? Then they decided to post something and did it on Yahoo and the 689 members got the message.?? There were then responses to the messages on Yahoo, mostly by our members who had moved over to groups.io, who didn't look carefully to see that the message had come from Yahoo.?

I have set up email message filters that send such messages to a separate mailbox and I then forward them to the groups.io group and let people know to respond there.?? I then invite the initial sender to join the groups.io group if he hasn't already.? I have also asked members to delete {groupname}@yahoogroups.com from their email, so they will be less likely to post on the old group.?

In some ways, I wish Yahoo wasn't continuing as an email list as that would end this problem, but continuing messages ties in with OATH's email business plans. ?? I will bet that the ads that were formerly on the website get tacked to the end of the messages sent out or that you get separate ad messages.

Good luck with this and if I can be of any help, just contact me.

Good luck with this.
