Harry,

Is there any way to recover and re-initiate an abandoned Yahoo Group?
...
Unfortunately the Moderator has disappeared and for a year or more now
very few are able to post - only those who for whatever reason were
not on moderation.

At this time I don't think so. Unless you can find an active moderator of the Y!Group with at least the privilege to "Add, remove, and change moderator privileges" it would require the help of Yahoo Customer Care to give someone that privilege. And Customer Care no longer supports Yahoo Groups.

On the other hand see this message in Y!GMF, contact Simon off-list, and cross your fingers:

Alternatively, is there any way for a user (not the moderator) to copy
everything over to a new groups.io account?

No. At least not directly.

The transfer agent requires moderator access to the Y!Group in order to copy the content. Absent an owner or privileged moderator in that group to promote the transfer agent, that approach is closed off.

As a member I think you can get a limited download of the group content using PG Offline. I'm not sure what the limitations are without moderator status, and I'm not sure if [email protected] could, or would, import the downloaded archive.


You might also try the Chrome app to download the messages, but again I've not tried it without moderator privileges:

The Group Eudora.win is a public group with 253 members founded July
3, 2001. It contains a wealth of historical information about the
vintage Eudora email client that many still use.

Interesting. I was a Eudora user up until about a year ago. I find two others in the directory, but one of them hasn't had activity since 2000.
