A lot of photos were pap photos, yes, but not the majority. The large majority of photos were magazine scans, photo shoots, photos from events, on the set of music videos, candid BTS photos, rare photos, Avril's childhood photos, and photos from live performances and appearances. You can still find most of these on other Avril fan sites, thankfully, but still. It would be a shame to lose all of it.

It's quite funny how much faith we have lost. Yeah I used to be pretty optimistic about it

^Well guys, as I've said before, you and Marliz put this thing up and in my opinion you're managing it more than acceptably well- to the point of having most members happy enough with this forum to don't worry about never returning to the original one- so if anyone can do it, it's you.

I don't know what the big deal about the gallery is. Most of those photos were random pap photos which weren't all that interesting. I disagree.

I just fear that this temp forum is giving the original BA a reason not to come back :/ Does anyone think that Sharifa will consider not finishing the upgrade to BA because this temp forum exists, and therefore there is no must need for the original forum to return? In addition to that and on a somewhat side note.. If the original BA forum comes back, are the members going to split--some stay here and some go back to the original forum? I know that some members are saying that they like how this ProBoards forum operates as opposed to the original forum, which is vBulletin.

I think if the old forum comes back, I'll go there. But as we know it's highly unlikely.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't/wasn't BA the "biggest Avril fansite" or whatever?
Surely if that's the case, some high-power working for Avril could be like "hey that BA forum is screwed, maybe we can help them..."

I think that the upgrade had to be paid for, so I don't think Sharifa would throw money down the drain or waste several months doing the upgrade only to stop halfway through. As long as they've already gotten through most of it, they might as well finish. We've all certainly waited long enough for it.

Wow, I didn't realize what I had typed I didn't mean to say "does anyone else think that... ", I meant to say "does anyone think that... ".I don't actually think that Sharifa would do that, especially considering the points that Bogo explained, and I hope that she wouldn't. I was only curious if anyone had thought it as a possibility.

I'm wondering if it's possible to retrieve the gallery independently of the old forum. How exactly are they connected?
Another thing is that when I try to access the gallery it say "forbidden". Does it mean that ale the photos are still there and we just can't get to them? My point is that if the photos from the gallery still exist it should be possible (for someone who can access them) to reupload them somewhere else.

Surely if that's the case, some high-power working for Avril could be like "hey that BA forum is screwed, maybe we can help them..." I hate to tell you this but, nobody that works for Avril cares about forums anymore. They have been replaced by facebook, twitter and instagram. They don't care about Avril's own official forum. Nobody from her label or management has made an official post there in years. Once upon a time, it was arguably as active as bandaids. That's sad for those of us who have enjoyed the forum experience. It's not just Avril. Fan forums in general have been clobbered by newer forms of social media. The fact BA has been down so long has made it impossible to make a comeback to the activity level it had previously. And that level was in decline anyway. If Sharifa elects to throw in the towel, I wouldn't blame her. She owns the domain name for almost three more years. Maybe she could just throw up a landing page with a redirect to this forum. That would be really cheap to do.
