Re: Caution, if your group has only 1 owner

Re: Caution, if your group has only 1 owner

Re: Caution, if your group has only 1 owner
Surely the 'flaw' is with the group owner that fails to consider to the consequences for other members if they are no longer around or able to manage the group.? Having any kind of transfer option

Re: Caution, if your group has only 1 owner
No "Owner Succession" feature (a Group 'will') is a flaw that Groups.io (and YahooGroups) share(d). Every time I've seen one proposed, those who would not use it have railed against having one. They

Re: Caution, if your group has only 1 owner
Keep in mind whoever is added as owner could delete the group and add others as owners. So be sure of the people you make owners. Jim Excess footer removed by moderator.

Caution, if your group has only 1 owner

Re: Group Forum owner is deceased. Reset?

Re: Group Forum owner is deceased. Reset?
I know someone that had to start a new group and they copied and pasted the entire posts to the new group. I don't know how they did it, just that they did.

Re: Group Forum owner is deceased. Reset?
That would be sad as everyone would then have to subscribe to the new group and you would loose all the message history. For some groups, that message history is valuable information. Michael Duane

Re: Group Forum owner is deceased. Reset?
No, unfortunately groups.io doesn't have a procedure for that yet. You - or rather a moderator of the group - could try emailing to [email protected], but it's possible he/they have other priorities
