Hello again,

The leadership of my recently transferred group would like to keep the Yahoo Groups open because that is the main way people find us. Does anyone know if there is a way to set the group to no messages, so that it is really just there as a calling card, so to speak.

Thanks for all your help,
Tiffany

Tiffany,
I moved my list from YahooGroups this week. After I determined that the transfer
was successful, I set the entire group default to moderated postings.
Only 5 (out of 1600) members have tried to post after I sent a special notice
that all posting would continue only on groups.io
By moderating posting of messages, files and photos the Yahoogroup will be static.
3 times instead of approving a moderated request to post, I replied directly
to the YG member that the group had moved. I also checked to make sure that
their membership had transferred. After the first day the only activity on the old YG
list has been members unsubscribing.

"It has always seemed strange to me," said Doc. "The things we admire in
men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling
are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest,
sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest are
the traits of success." STEINBECK - CANNERY ROW

A reply that will likely be useful to others. I volunteer to transfer to the wiki.
