So here's my thoughts:
1. Create the users with this mod.
2. Save the usernames to a file
3. Input this file into a form on the backend...
Rest of it will come here I'll draw it up later today and see if this will work of my idea and everyone else's, because it's not against the law to pull from feeds, content sources of articles and etc...
I'll get back later on this one and update here what I come up with. Though thanks AzzidReign for a bit more insight on how this can grow even more!

Yahoo does not own Yahoo Group content. I'm sure people can actually create their own Yahoo Groups, therefore it is either the group creator or posting members there's content, not that of Yahoo. It's like Jelsoft going after all those who take content from vBulletin forums, or Invisionfree going after all those who take from forums hosted by them. It's not their problem, it's that of the individual owner.
About this modification though. While I do not really agree with the idea of it, it happens to be a legitimate modification which may have some uses. Maybe to register members who cannot register normally by bulk because of spam controls being too strict, or for various other reasons. Or to import from an old forum on mass.
Besides, anyone who misuses it only has themselves to blame. You can easily see what forums will use this or the fake statistics mod due to ratios between posts and members or the like.
