Yahoo groups without owners/moderators?
My old Yahoo identity (profile) was disabled after one of my Yahoo groups was closed. As a result, I was locked out of access to several other of my groups (such as: http://tv.groups.yahoo.com/group/WGN_Memories ), so now new members cannot be added nor can any messages get processed. Yahoo keeps sending me e-mails letting me know about new membership applications (to this and some of my other groups I've been locked out of) but I cannot do anything about them. Has anyone here been able to figure out who at Yahoo to contact about re-gaining ownership access?
There are lots and lots and lots of Yahoo groups floating out there in limboland which are occupying a lot of memory on Yahoo's servers. Many of them might have been abondoned -- but many more have had their owners/moderators locked out such as myself. Your suggestions will be most helpful.

Check out the Yahoo! Moderators group (link below).
This issue is one of the most discussed topics.
I did a search on the term: "groups without moderators"
I found the following discussions that may help:
- Abandoned group owners
- Group deletion w/out Moderator or Owner
- Group without a Owner
- Resolving either an abandoned group or unresponsive moderator
I hope you find information in these discussions that will help you.
Good Luck!

In relation to the groups that are orphaned because of owners and moderators abandoning them Yahoo has gotten numerous complaints about the problem. The only thing we can do is to keep complaining to them and making suggestions on how to make ownership of these abandoned groups easier so that they aren't abandoned or get removed so that they don't take up space.
