I'm not aware of any other solutions which can copy out the content of your Yahoo Group, so you may be faced with keeping the Yahoo Group open as an archive, as Ilene suggested.

One solution that comes to mind is PG Online, the hosted service version of PG Offline. That wouldn't have been free either, in that you have to pay for hosting your online site. That trades the upfront expense with Groups.io for an ongoing expense, so it may or may not be an acceptable option.

But I don't find PG Online listed on their site, so maybe that fledgling service never made it off the ground. At the least, PG Offline can give you a local copy of your group's content for safe keeping. For that purpose the free trial version is sufficient.
