Is there any way to have a Yahoo group declared abandoned by the owner?

I'm the moderator of a Yahoo group & have been keeping it going for years now. Unfortunately we're starting to have some problems that I'm unable to deal with because I'm only a moderator with restricted authority. I've tried to contact the owner with no success, she's been gone for ages. Is there any way I can completely take over control of the group?

    there's really nothing you can do about it other than create a new group- Yahoo started a plan but never finished it

    regrettably, Yahoo is not any help in those circumstances. even as an proprietor has deserted a collection, they only go away it. I do choose that Yahoo would enable a member take over possession, yet they have some stick up their butt about TOS privateness guidelines. the only element to do, is to commence a sparkling crew with a popularity similar are an identical because the crew you're in with possibly a '2' in it to tutor it is a sparkling crew, or notwithstanding you want to do this, and then deliver an invitation to each and every of the contributors to hitch the hot crew. it could be impressive if yahoo would enable contributors of a modern crew take over one, and get administration of the spammers, yet they are stuck contained in the previous up to now because it truly is in contact. choose i could help you extra, yet regrettably, it truly is the superb answer you receives. until eventually you are able to by some skill contact the unique proprietor and get them to nominate you because the hot proprietor. reliable success.
