I agree. I´m curious to know if the old mods and staff like Sharifa, Devon, Zach and the others will be back when Avril's next era begins. I doubt it, since they were already absent in the old forum the past year, but will Sharifa return to support Avril? It's interesting to see how this pans out next year (hopefully it's when AL6 will begin) I doubt it, I mean if Avril releases a CD somehow in the future and tours - I bet Sharifa will use her contcts, get vips for devon zach etc. But I doubt they will be a part of the site anymore... Just a thought, but if Sharifa, Devon, Zach and the others come back, I think they should have to start from scratch and earn their staff privileges. I hope they don't get automatically promoted just because they were the leaders of the old site once upon a time. They stopped giving a shit, and that should have consequences. There, I said it. As said above, I don't even think they would be interested in being back in the actual forum and working their asses off for Avril, more that they will use their contacts to meet Avril when its possible, and perhaps 1-2 posts on the Facebook like when Devon posted about Avril and Taylor on Fb, after 2 years inactive, just because it was a huge news thingy... :/

Hey guys, Devon here. Members old and new, I absolutely am appreciative that you guys are all still here to support Avril and here to represent the Bandaids name.
The last three years have been pretty intense for me. In 2012, I started my four year degree at Ryerson University in Toronto. As I've grown into "adulthood", my priorities have unfortunately changed. Gone are the days where I could spend hours on Bandaids. Now my time is spent full-time finshing my Bachelors Degree, and exceeding in my part time job at Apple. This year, I'm taking six classes, and currently working on my thesis project to complete me degree. I'm sure you guys can imagine how crazy this year must have been.
What I want you guys to realize is that three years ago and now are totally different times in my life. My priorities have changed. As much as I'm going to hold Avril and Bandaids as close to my heart as possible, I'm growing into adulthood where I do not have the time to be part of a fan community.
When the new era starts back up, of course I would love to come out to concerts and events, but gone are the days of acting as an administrator for a fansite. I'm sure my reasons for stepping away from the site are similar to Zach's and Sharifa's - it's not giving zero shits about the site, it's just a different time in our lives. Sharifa is about to get married, Zach is living in NYC working full-time. I speak for all of us that we have the best interests for Bandaids, but as people move on to different parts of our lives, priorities change.

While I and everyone else here completely gets that all of your lives and priorities has changed, it has been quite frustrating when the site went down- as we felt pretty left in the dark in terms of explaining to members if and when the site would be back and other questions. And personally I don't think a short message to any of us would of taken up a lot of time and I don't feel it really excuses the lack of communication we had received. I know you said it's not about giving zero shits about the site but it did come across like that. Anyway despite what I said above, thank you for letting us know where all of you are in your lives- and I wish you the best of luck for the future.

I don't want to attack anybody but it'd just be easier if somebody had told us what's going on (writing a small message doesn't take much time). I guess ATRL was and is the priority for some people. Again, I apologize if I sound rude. That's not my intention. I don't even remember who those staff were on ATRL. I just know that one admin was among them or maybe more.

Someone put me in contact with Sharifa, to fix the the old vBulletin board and bring the gallery back
I have time at the moment to mess up with old depricated PHP code and database errors
I could put it online just for the sake of making an archive subdomain for it,and make old posts acessible, and forum innactive just for displaying +10 years of AvrilBandaids
At this time, I think it doesn't worth much getting out of this boards platform, since we are already settled here for quite long

The gallery will be coming to this site eventually.
