Exactly.? Our owner went missing back in 2009.? All the settings were then locked int an auto-pilot mode.?? Our moderator for 11 years tried to ask Yahoo to turn the group over to him, but to no avail.? We believe the owner actually DIED.
?
Now the story gets even worse!? Our groups is the 2nd largest tractor membership on Yahoo.? JD only beats us out.? But there are 4 other related groups as well, created by our SAME owner!? Thus, we are now transferring all 5 groups over into 1 larger one.
?
Wild, eh?? PGOffline has been the useful tool getting all of this data to one place, reviewed, structured and then ready to upload into Groups.io.?
?
We are very pleased with the PG4 folks.? It's helped a great deal.? To do the regular Groups.io transfer would have been crazy for all the groups into one and the cost burden too.? Then the complications with not just the transfer, but the merging too.?
?
Other than our group over there, 2 of the others are on full auto-pilot because the mods left a long while back too.
SOOOOOOOO,? YES, it's good to have the ability to transfer ownership or allow a mod to step up and take over when the time for a change of guard happens.?
