I have moved only two small groups.? In one case, I deleted all
the members except myself.? This allowed me to catch emails sent
by non-subscribers (which was allowed on that group), alert those
specific non-subscribers to the new address and forward those
messages to the new group on groups.io.? In the other case, I was
able to poll all members and delete the yahoo group once they
approved of that step.

This reminded me of a question I've been wondering about.? For
those that move to Groups.io, what will you do with your Y!
Groups?? When the neo fiasco happened, I immediately looked for a
refuge.? After I got set up on io, I asked all members that
could/would to delete their Y! accounts, then deleted the groups
that came with me.? I figured the fewer groups and members, the
less revenue would be generated to support Y!.? They used to tout
the huge number of groups and members in their advertising, but
I'm not sure if they still do.? Of course, that included all the
dormant groups and spam havens.? Probably a bit like jousting with
windmills, but...
I know some plan to keep the Y! groups in place for awhile, if
nothing more than an archive or pointer to io, but will you
eventually delete them?? Will you ask your members to delete their
Y! accounts if possible?
