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..." Dude, we've already seen what they have done to her career. Keep their hands outta our website

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. That's gonna take a billion years.

So, is there a possibility we have the gallery back by the beginning of the next era?

I just don't get how it can take like over 6 months to upgrade a forum? No other forums are down for even a week when they upgrade let alone 6 months. Old BA was a mess anyway, Sharifa had obviously lost a lot of interest in the whole thing and a lot of the admins were just outright rude to other members. I prefer it here.

I can agree with that about some of the Admins- while some are nice I did kind of feel like I got ignored alot and I kind of still do now, I'm just frustrated that It took a year to get rid of a virus in the code on BA- it makes sense to me now that they probably was not interested at all. And also I suppose the upgrade is alot of work- especially on a site like BA- but the fact we barely get any updates and that they are usually ignored is extremely frustrating. Most of the staff did kind of feel like that on BA, and I hate to say that but I'm being honest. This very forum was created days after a update from Sharifa because we both thought (me an marliz) BA would come back, and now it's still not here and we're not sure what to do.

In my personal opinion if real BA doesn't come back we can just stick with this forum. And you said there are options to upgrade here to have a gallery and things right? We may not be able to restore the old gallery, but at least we could save and archive any new media we get from now on, such as Avril's recent Instagram pics and if we get any new photo shoots, album 6, etc. We'd basically just be starting from square one again. And if anyone wants access to any old photos, I know a few sites that have a lot like avrildaily.net and avrilimages.net. I think it's funny that nobody has voted "yes" on this poll and that the most common answer is "no." That's the right attitude, guys.

There are upgrades available yes, the gallery is an add on but it's a user gallery, so I'm not sure how it would work out, I might test it later or something

They should change the message to: "Avril Bandaids is currently offline for maintenance. This may take a few YEARS."

I voted No. It would be easier when they make a new Website.

Some of the admins were so incredibly rude that I don't know how they became admins in the first place.

Am I the only one that actually miss the old bandaids? I mean this forum is fine, I dont care much about a gallery and the layout - everything works, so it's okay. But on the old forum there were many more members, yes a lot of stupid or inactive members, but there were also members that I miss around here. We had people who knew people that knew people that saw Avril somewhere or heard something about her, we had people working for record-labels that could explain certain things etc. I mean, I think you are all great members here - dont get me wrong but I actually miss the diversity we had in the old forum. Well, I dont get my hopes up that it will ever return, (which is a shame! ) so maybe we should make the best out of this. If we could do the layout more Avril-ish and spread the link, maybe some old members will find their way back and join. As for Sharifa + Admins, I dont know any of them but seriously, all this "Sharifa is busy"-thing is ridiculous. How busy can a person be for not upgrading a forum in almost a year? She could give the permission to someone else, someone who really wants it to work. So, I think she just lost interest and we wont get the old forum back... OR Sharifa is such a great fan of Avril that she copies the Avril-ish meaning of "soon" and we will have the old forum back in .... well, "soon".

And I know exactly what you mean with "diversity of the forum". I think she has just lost interest as any other admins who went inactive. The "I'm busy"-excuse is long overdue because I saw some of our admins who claimed to be too busy in real life on another forum posting everyday.
