Question

The moderator for our group site moved taking her info with her. How can we get into to manage our site?

Answer 1

this is tricky as to what members have reported.

an owner needs to promote a member or

it is said that if you contact yahoo, they will appoint a moderator (not an owner) 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.

either way, here's the help form

Answer 2

Try going to the sysadmin and tell them that the group has been abandoned.  If it is a uunet moderated group, the best you can do is start a new group and pull the posts from the old group to this one.  Good luck.  This type of situation really sucks.
