Owner dead, only moderators left
#groupowner
Over ten years ago, the owner of our group died unexpectedly. ?He left no information about accessing his account. ?I am one of two moderators who serve as owners but don¡¯t have the title. ?We would like to transfer our group to GroupsIO but doubt we have the authority. ?Any suggestions before we begin this new journey?

Backup your membership list, files, and databases to your computer, for a start. Your photos as well, if you have room. To move to groups. io you need to make it a moderator, and I think that takes an owner. I believe you can upload from your computer, however.

If you can create an account that is also a moderator you are halfway there.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi First I am srry about the death of the owner. If I was mod, I would create a new group and let those whoare still interested join the new list Or have Mark change owner of the current group Anyone else? ? ¡®My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever. ? Please support me in my journey to another opportunity of life at: ? Bless you, Sugar Lopez ? ? ? ? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ruth ?

Some YG moderators can add another moderator (not all YG moderators have this authority). Barring that, you can down load the list of members e-mail addresses.? Groups.io lets you invite new members a 100 at a time. I considered that option for 1800 members but then the transfer went through.? PG Offline may be able to let a moderator back up the databases, it seems more for list owners; I asked if moderators could download but didn't get a reply.? My backup plan was to have a couple of fellow members back up the files and photos sections to upload to groups.io. The big concern for some is the archived messages.? Some lists purge messages after a few weeks.? Do you need the messages archive? ken "It has always seemed strange to me," said Doc. "The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest are the traits of success."? Steinbeck - Cannery Row ? [mod note: I don't believe Groups.io invites are limited in number, but over a certain number (20?) the invites will be temporarily held pending for review by Groups.io.] ?

As I added as a moderator of our Yahoo group specifically so I could move us to Groups.io, and I didn't seem to have any problems. I told the owner he may get an email asking for approval, but I think that ended up going to all of the moderators so I replied and it was done. So as someone else said, as long as you can add the Groups.io account as a moderator and set the appropriate permissions for them I would think you're good to go.

12 years ago the owner of our group went AWOL after appointing me a moderator with virtually no powers. (Cannot change the welcome message. Someone here had suggested to changethe Yahoo welcome message to send them to the IO group.)
After a few eMails ,Mark transferred everything over without any problems. Mark's personal involvement is amazing. -- Arno |
