How to take over a "dead" Yahoo Group? I am a member of a yahoo group that we can not contact the owner.

How can someone take over the group since the owner is not responding. He has not answered any e-mails and according to the memberlist he is bouncing. We would like to try and save the group if possible.

    I find many groups that are dead where the owner has abandoned it. Yahoo has done nothing.....and I mean NOTHING to solve this problem whether it's trying to contact the owner or hand it over to a member willing to run the group. Many groups that are abandoned are targets for spammers to post their ads.

    who's submission is the perfect? I undergo in recommendations at the same time as Baron Von Rashke's Claw replaced right into a tournament ender! there are truly some previous-college submissions that were useful, to be positive! Verne Gagne's Sleeper, the Camel grab, Baron's Claw, Kerry Von Eric's Claw,(I positive do omit the Von Eric's by technique of how!). i like Chris Benoit's Crippler flow Face, now common in elementary words because the flow Face, Ric Flairs make certain 4 replaced into and is very useful, yet i ought to ought to assert that The Undertaker's new submission is the most devastating on the instantaneous. perhaps of all time! a minimum of for now, besides! i'm conscious that there are truly some strikes that I truly have not suggested, some that ought to also be extra devastating, yet who can record all of them? Heck, who ought to undergo in recommendations all of them, precise? only one guy's reviews!

    There's no way to take over an abandoned group. Only the owner can make other people owners or moderators.
