Question

Our moderator quit the group without getting a new moderator. How can we remedy this?

Answer 1

if they were the only owner, not much you can do.

it is said that if you contact yahoo, they will appoint a moderator if a poll is conducted to vote one in by the members of the group. however yahoo hasn't said what priviledges they'd give as moderator.

some have said they tried this method, and once yahoo knew there was no active owner, they deleted the group as part of clean-up.

your other choice is to create another group and invite those active members to it. this is probably the better of choice since there's then be an owner.
