Is there anything that can be done if the owner of a yahoo group no longer has access to it?
-
In a Yahoo group that I belong to, the owner has not had access to his ID t hat runs the group for some time. Both he and m yself have tried to get in touch with Yahoo with no answer. I wouldn't mind taking over ownership of the group but there is no way to contact anyone about it.

Answer:
When you say the Owner has no access to his Yahoo User id --are you saying that he cannot log into the group at all? I believe that the only way a group can be "turned over" is to have the "owner" or top moderator quit and transfer Owner privleges of the group to you someone else--OR if he has assigned any moderators, and they have access to membership privledges, there is no need to transfer the group ownership. If I have a group that is very important, I usually give someone I trust implicitely Moderator Priveledges with the ability to do everything but Delete the Group. If you have any moderator privledges in this group, with access to the full email addresses of your members: You can make a copy of the all email addresses by clicking on the download link in tthe Members' area. Or you can also export a copy of all Members' ID and Email addresses by clicking on export. Then if you start a new group, you can transfer the current members over: http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/groups/groups-06.html
