It is a few years, definitely at least 3 or 4, that a friend and I tried to get yahoo to elevate my friend (who was a moderator) to owner and me to co-owner as new membership applications had to be approved and she couldn¡¯t do it. ?The owner had gone missing and totally ignored any attempts to get in touch with her.
We never got any helpful response from yahoo at all and the group died.
So yahoo ignoring the needs of groups is not a new thing. ?And absent owners and the failure by yahoo to help and support the memberships of those groups have always been a problem with yahoo groups.

?Don all that¡¯s true and some have stepped up. But this group has an absentee owner, yahoo cannot be reached to ask them to make me a mod with invite privileges so I had to give up and get a free basic forum into which I will manually import whatever I can and take a considerable hit to my time (which I have little of) to preserve what I can from the yahoo group. I was and am upset that we were not given more time before the fee went up to see what we could do. So I had a mostly sleepless night.?

I can understand your situation, but I think the real bad guy here is Yahoo. Yahoo has caused all this commotion, and is trying to offer you a way to keep your group. If there was no place to transfer to like you would lose your group anyway, so can I suggest you pass the collection plate around to your membership if you can¡¯t personally afford it, and ask your membership to help you out this time. You would be surprised how many people will offer to chip in, just as I found out last year when I transferred my group.
