We are preparing a short little anniversary video for Avril bandaids 18th anniversary, for the social medias. It would be lovely to include some forum comments in the video! I know I’ve seen plenty of comments made by users about what bandaids, the forum, has meant to them. Getting new friends, etc. And it’s hard to find them all, so I thought, why not create a thread?
So those of you who are comfortable to have your comments and usernames included in the video, please comment below what this fan community has meant to you. New friends? Someone to talk to? Being less lonely for a concert? Or just a simple, something to do when bored. It doesn’t have to be like ‘big words’.
Just anything related to being together with other fans like this. You can include the time period of ‘old bandaids’ aka experiences from the whole fansite being run. It would just be something very fun to show Avril/her team.
Staff members also allowed to leave comments ofc!

Bandaids helped me connect to other Avril fans and enthusiasts for her music. I can't really find them in the real world and I feel we can all share our appreciation for Avril and find those who can relate to that.
Also, in 2011 I found love in the middle of the storm that is bandaids users and that is something I owe to this forum. Even though we're not together now that is a good reminder for me that there's real connections online.
So thank you bandaids for being such a good part of my life. It will always have a special place in heart.

Bandaids is a great place to discuss Avril and her music with others who are just as passionate about her as you are. It’s also a great source for news and media updates, and you may even learn new things about Avril thanks to the wide array of knowledge her fans have here!

It's a great place to find out all the things that are wrong with her albums, concerts and management/marketing strategies, also a good place to confirm that she's indeed still not pregnant. On top of that you get the opportunity to watch her in a million different fun, less fun, and outright disturbing modified visual media. It's also a place that holds a small but rather unique bunch of individuals, many of them allowing little peaks into their lives, exposing the reality that we're all complex, exceptional and priceless beings, one as interesting as the next.

If I consider my most important hobby to be music, bandaids is just one part of it. It's pretty much the last place I can share my interest, excitement and enthusiasm for Avril's music. Very few in my peer group are even aware of her existence. And, none of them are fans. I could never have imagined that Avril's online community would have consumed so much of my time, or occupied such a significant place in my life. If I should happen to outlive bandaids, I will miss it.

Bandaids has become an essential part of being an Avril fan. There is nowhere else I feel comfortable talking about all things Avril. It's the one place I can find news, keep up with content, and discuss new and old eras. We are a diverse group of fans with different opinions but are all Avril lovers. I'm glad it's still around and hope it will continue to live on as we grow older.

It's a nice place where I can talk about the only music artist that I'm a big fan of. I also go around the Avril subreddit sometimes but nobody there knows I'm THAT big a fan. I have the same username for pretty much everything except Avril Bandaids.
I can already think of so many ways things can go wrong if I don't withhold the fact that I'm a huge Avril fan, and especially as a male. To me, this place is the only place where I can safely talk about my liking of Avril's music.

I would say that Bandaids is a great music community (even though obviously we can talk about anything else). Currently I'm not very active here but this is one of the places that I would visit often.... when I'm bored haha. But really, I've met some great people (friends) on Bandaids, people with great personality and great taste in music.

All I know is that I love this website and I visit it every day. It's a great place to discuss everything Avril related, some of it interests me, some of it doesn't. I guess I only have a passing interest in Avril Lavigne compared to other members. It's also a great place to meet people from all over the world in a safe friendly environment. Love you Avril and thanks for everything!

It's the place to talk and rant about Avril a lot! Can't do that in real life to people since I only know 1 other person who is such a die-hard fan too, but she lives in the north of the country. It's the place to discuss everything and analyse everything and it's so cool the other people here are also hardcore fans! It can calm me down to scroll thorugh the forums and reply on posts! I love Avril, Bandaids and fellow Bandaiders to talk to
