I'm the moderator of 2 other Yahoo groups for many years now. The creator of 
  them has vanished years ago and was from the UK. I have asked many times
  to be bumped up to group owner, but never get a reply.
  
  True thing said here in another post is its a free service. So in reality it 
  can disappear without notice, warning or liability at ANY time. Same goes 
  for groups.io
  
  I have seen mailman supplied with cpanel on websites serve as an email list 
  quite well. Also I once found a script called yahoo to mbox ti import all 
  messages
  from a yahoo group I closed, into phpbb format so they were present in the 
  forums after I made the group into a website. Phpbb also had a mail2forum 
  and forum2mail
  plugin so you could still do posts to and from via email instead of loging 
  in with the browser. Its been years since I did that though, not sure what 
  they offer now.
