Early Announcement! It's been awhile! Did you see our hints in the Random discussion thread?
We're very happy to announce that we are bringing back the ABA's! We're sorry it didn't happen last year, we wanted to build upon the site before doing as something as big as the ABA'S. You will have 19 categories to nominate, vote and potentially win in! Not to mention winner blends by Amanda. The Red Carpet thread will also be making a return!
What are the ABA'S? We have had a lot of new members this past year- so allow me to explain what the ABA's are! The ABA's is our annual award event which comes up every summer; it's been a part of Bandaids culture for a very, very long time. There will be categories for you to nominate your fellow members into, such as Funniest member. Whoever wins the voting round after being nominated will win a special ABA blend specific to that category!
The Red Carpet event is the opening event, where you post images of clothes you would wear, your plus 1 what food you'll be having and how you will be arriving. It's just a bit of fun to start the ABA's!
Cool! What's the schedule of this years ABA's? The ABA's start on the 22nd of May at 12PM BST! We hope to see you there! The Red Carpet: Running throughout the ABA's. Nominations: 22nd of May - 29th of May Voting: 29th of May - 5th of June Winners announced: 12th of June
We're really excited to bring the ABA's back this year and we hope you are too! We've been working on it since late March, and we've also made a brand new theme for the Summer! -The Staff Team

I think I figured it out way before anyone else did, but I was strictly forbidden from saying anything.

We've removed the "Most likely to be banned category" and replaced it with "Best newbie" we feel this is a bit more kind spirited It might be back in future ABA's as it's been in the past. not sure.

^ Hopefully next year the site will be a little more populated and lively around the time of the ABAs for many more categories to return. 2017 could be an eventful year for Avril so it's possible.

Is it okay if we update our nominations before the 29th? When will you guys start counting the nominees and making the shortlists?
I keep remembering people who I miss but forgot to nominate... which doesn't make a lot of sense, I know. But there are so many of them. :/
