What are your thoughts? Will it be back? When can we expect it? Note: Just a random discussion.

I voted maybe.
But here's why; I don't know why it's been down for so long in the first place. It keeps saying:
Avril Bandaids is currently offline for maintenance. This may take a few days.
But it's for soooo long now.. maybe it'll never come back and we have to stick here... I hope it's coming back eventually!

I've said no simply because it's taking so long. I know there are all the excuses and reasons for it, but seriously its been down for what.. I don't even know how long... a year? I've been on plenty of forums who have had issues and the most any of them have been down is like 2 months. One forum had a complete overhaul where we all ended up having to re-register and lost everything from the old forum, but even that happened within a month. We all joke (although not always joking) about how bad Avril is for communicating with fans and keeping them up to date, and that word "soon" but BA is even worse Oh shoot, there should be an option to vote for "soon"!

I voted "No", because I think it's extremely unlikely. It's been like, six months since 'real' Bandaids went down?
But there should be an "I don't care" option, because I really don't. This site is everything I need it to be, with better functionality as a bonus. I like the way PMs work on here, I like not having to wait 5 minutes for a page to load, and I like how there's been zero downtime since Marliz and blizz started it. Yes it's a shame the gallery is gone forever, but oh well life goes on.

Sadly, I can't find an option to change the poll. Anyway, I gotta agree with you guys. It's been down for more than 6 months. I have never seen any other forum being down for that long. I'm registered on another forum and they changed everything COMPLETELY in less than a month.

I voted 1 year because it's already been like 7-8 months that's it's been down. I don't see how it would NEVER come back because at some point the upgrade has to finish, but there may be problems once the new forum is up and they'd have to take time to fix them again.
Except for the gallery, like Harvey said, I couldn't care less if Bandaids comes back. The temp forum is almost just as good. And if we need access to any pics there are other Avril sites like Avril-l.org and avrildaily.net that have a large chunk of photos from her career.
There's another forum I go on for reality shows like Idol and The Voice and their forum was having some issues, but I'm not sure if they were just fixing it or upgrading anything. But the site was down for maybe like a month. I haven't ever heard of an upgrade taking nearly a year.

The only reason I want the "old" BA back is for the gallery, SOTW threads and the memories. The design on the page (the header and the postcount thing that was the logos) other than that, this forum is pretty much the same. It is what a forum should be. If it comes back great! If not we move on with this new (temp) forum.

A question is could someone else take over? Or won't Sharifa "give away" her "baby" to someone else who know all the things to know, and could become co admins (owners) with her. Is something wrong with Vbulletin or is it something to do with the old forum or is someone not able to click "next" or what ever on their computer? (I don't expect an answer from anyone here ) Cause if time is the problem.... but 6 months?

As Sam said, i sent Sharifa another message asking about the circumstances. If I don't hear anything back from her real soon, I'd say this forum will continue to be the real Bandaids, under another name maybe.
