I agree. We're still Avril Bandaids. I mean, the original Bandaids started out as a Yahoo Group. Then they actually made their own website. It's always been Avril Bandaids, the format for the forum has just changed a bit over the years. Regardless of what happens with the site, we'll always be Avril Bandaids.

But I think a lot of fans were only fans because they were registered at Bandaids. Now that the big forum is gone, maybe some fans will turn away from Avril because the forum was the last plattform that connected them with Avril.
I mean, a lot of members that were really active in the old forum, didnt come at this temporary forum - and who knows if they will return if the old forum will ever come back

@ Confession #40 there a "Real Bandaids" ?? It's not the same platform, but the forum is still a forum - the gallery tho. Yeah I can handle staying here and not going back to the old forum, but losing the gallery is a shame

Not a lot of people know a temporary site is up. And other than Lyme disease and Fly, there isn't much going on with Avril right now.

I think you can- there is an addon library via the Admin panel (but anyone can take a look) and I did see one for personal member galleries- not sure if it'd have to be a staff one accessible to all or what, but It's definitely something we can consider if the site doesn't come back, it is possible to add extra pages to the site though, so if you have any ideas for that- that'd be cool spoiler alert- im working on a new page now

"Real Bandaids"... seriously? For me the it is the real BA as long as the people I got to know on the other platform are registered here. It's not the platform we use, it's the people we talk to who make it interesting.

I have to admit that I do miss the real platform though. I'm not complaining about this forum. It's nice to talk to you all and I'm happy that most of us are here. But without the real platform it feels a bit like something is missing. Maybe it's just me.

Honestly I've gotten so used to this site that I barely remember what Bandaids looked like, what features it had or didn't have, etc. When was the last time Bandaids was even online? Like September? The last thing I remember discussing was Avril's birthday so that would have been late September, at least.

The last thing I remember discussing was Avril's birthday so that would have been late September, at least. I remember that we had a Halloween thread. But I know for a fact that Bandaids was still online until late November. It may not seem like it because the major issues were happening during November, so everyone was getting on less and less.

I see what you mean- the original site has the "Bandaids" feel; and to be honest this forum doesn't exactly have it yet IMO, but I think that's just because none of us have been on BA since last year

I'm totally fine with this forum, the only thing I miss about the old forum is the walls. But we're lucky enough to be able to still see each other, so Sam and Marliz...

But you can still send PMs to members, so I don't see how that's different from a wall.
