Can the archives from a Y! group be transferred into a subgroup? We had two groups on Y! One group was the main group. The other independent Y! group was made up entirely of members of the main group with a special interest that not all members of the main group were interested in. We transferred the main group several weeks ago. This seems like exactly what subgroups are made for and I set up a subgroup of our main group.

Now we want to get the subgroup going. We'd like to move the Y! archive for the secondary group into the archive for the groups.io subgroup.

Is this possible? If so, what is the recommended procedure?

One issue is ownership of the subgroup. I am listed as owner and moderator of the subgroup. The main group has several other owners and moderators. I would like to make them owners and moderators of the subgroup also, but they don't appear on the join list. How do I handle this?

Thanks, Marv

Marv,

Can the archives from a Y! group be transferred into a subgroup?

Yes.

If so, what is the recommended procedure?

Follow the usual procedure for transferring the special interest Y!Group to groups.io, and in the "Go" email name the subgroup as the destination.

See also this note at the bottom of the transfer instructions:
"NOTE: If the new group is a subgroup at Groups.io, you will receive two
transfer notices, one for transfering the members to the parent group,
and one for transfering the members to the subgroup (all members of a
subgroup must be members of the parent group)."

One issue is ownership of the subgroup. I am listed as owner and
moderator of the subgroup. The main group has several other owners and
moderators. I would like to make them owners and moderators of the
subgroup also,

Owners of the primary group are implicitly owners of every subgroup. That is, they have access and control whether listed in the subgroup's Members list or not.

but they don't appear on the join list. How do I handle this?

"Join list"? Assuming you mean the subgroup's Direct Add page, those already explicitly added to the subgroup aren't listed for Direct Add. But those not in the subgroup's Members list ought to be in it's Direct Add list.

Thanks Shal. The procedure makes sense.

I guessed that moderator and ownership might be inherited by subgroups, but I wanted to be sure.

And I apologize for the sloppy terminology "join list" for the subgroups direct add. I know full well that sloppiness like that makes a hard job harder. What can I say? It was a fuzzy head after a long day is the truth but not an excuse. Best, Marv
