How do I get admin access for an existing group?

Question

I started a group back in 2000 that didn't last long but still exists and only receives spam. I don't recall the userid and password I used to create the group. Any way to get access that access under my current user id so I can close the group? Or who at Yahoo do I need to contact to shut it down?

Answer 1

you need that Yahoo ID that was owner to do anything. you'd need it as proof to send the help form as well. I'd bet a ton of people send in forms stating they were the owner, please delete the group- but Yahoo wont unless you can verify you are the owner.

here's the help form just the same

if it makes any difference, there are many groups with MIA owners, and the group is spam-filled
