I received an email notification saying my group could be deleted due to inactivity. Why? What can I do?
To improve the quality of the service, Yahoo! Groups periodically cleans up inactive groups from the system. Inactive groups take up valuable space in the Groups directory and use names that other people might want to use for their own group. This clean-up procedure keeps the service fresh and active.
An active group is defined as one with at least 2 members and at least one message posted within a 90-day period.
Owners and moderators of inactive groups receive email notifications asking them to make the group active or request an extension. If you have received a notice, all you have to do is post a message and make sure you have at least 2 people in your group.
If your group is seasonal in nature and has long periods of inactivity, just click on the "request an extension" link in the email notification you received. Your group will be reactivated for another 90 days.
