No, but the rest of the staff did leave it to rot. They abandoned us. Sharifa stopped caring. All the higher ups at the time we could change the site didn't do anything. Does she even have an account on this site?

You come back, undermine the efforts the current staff has done to get everything and everyone back together, then offer to be there for help which you probably won't be able to do because you don't have the time? What?

What? I never undermined the efforts of the current staff. I just didn't know what you were going through. I can't spend hours on this website, ie: I can't spend days uploading media. I can however, help you diagnose server issues and solve specific errors. That sort of things are my thing. That's the kind of things I used to do on this very same website. Soo that person registered just to say how busy in life they are? And we care how?
Whatever. By the way, I registered on BA in feb 2004. Good Luck.

I apologise if that wasn't what you were trying to communicate. That's just how it came across when reading your posts.

OMG who cares. Stop starting shit. If you don't like it here, then LEAVE Wow, what a drama queen. Nobody started shit. I never said I didn't like Bandaids? All I said was that the move to a free forum hosting had a huge impact on the domain authority, you can see that in the link on my original comment. I did not know Sharifa was no longer in charge. At first I thought you guys moved to this platform because of server issues, which is IMO a huge mistake, as long as there's someone capable of paying for hosting. If no one can pay for hosting, then it's a reasonable move, though I'd look into some alternatives. Please don't tell me to leave.

Actually, yes you did. You came out of nowhere and dived into a rude tirade about how you don't like what BA has become, knowing nothing about its recent history, or how hard the current staff have worked to get the community back on its feet. Now you're desperately overcompensating by offering the "fix" the site, after it's been made clear that we're all quite happy with the way it is.

Can we all calm down? The conversation is over with now. Please take this to a PM if you wish, further discussion of this will result in moderator action - it's turning the random disc thread into WW3

If no one can pay for hosting, then it's a reasonable move, though I'd look into some alternatives. Please don't tell me to leave. From what I remember BA was going down all the time and they wanted to upgrade their sever to something called vBulletin I think (I don't know anything about this kind of stuff so bear with me). We were told it would be done in like a week or 2, maybe a month tops. For months the home page said "We are updating the site. It should take a few days." This went on for months. After almost a year (or maybe it was even more than a year) I think of nothing happening Blizz and Marliz? (Sorry don't remember who the other person was) decided to set up this temporary forum in March 2015. Some months later Francy visited Sharifa in person and asked her what was going on with the site. Come to find out she had basically abandoned plans for the upgrade and never finished it. There were no plans to restore the original site. Fine, it's her site and she can do what she pleases, but no one communicated anything to us. Blizz, Marliz, etc. tried communicating with her via email and FB about it and she did not answer 1 message the entire time. We finally had to ask permission to continue using the BA name and made this a permanent site. Sharifa, Devon, Zach, Lewis, etc. have not returned to BA since. Totally understandable that things happen, people leave, whatever. But we basically had to start from square one and rebuild the site on our own. The way the old staff handled the entire situation was nothing more than what I can describe as a dick move. The least they could have done was send out a tweet or FB message explaining they wouldn't be finishing the upgrade that we spent months waiting for. They get no sympathy or defense from me.
