Yeah I think that pretty much nails it.
Oh well, we have a shiny new forum which works properly, and that's all I really care about. It's a shame there's not as much to talk about as there was in the old days, but at least we don't have to wait for the server to take a crap before we can comment on whatever Avril just posted on Instagram.

Just checked the ATRL thread again to see if there was anything new. I'm not sure what he means by "bipolar" support though.

Oh yeah, I forgot all about ATRL, I think I posted like 3 times then never went back ATRL stands for Absolute Total Request Live (I think). It's basically a pop music forum atrl.net

Yeah I just checked ATRL, figuring that's where some of them had gone to, and I saw a bunch of members posting that I had completely forgotten about. The thing is, they were also discussing it a bit there too, saying it's mainly Sharifa's fault why the site declined. Some excerpts: I found this one pretty amusing too :lmao: I'm the one who posted the second one, and I think I was quite fair in my judgement I giggle a bit when I saw the last one Yeah I think that pretty much nails it. Oh well, we have a shiny new forum which works properly, and that's all I really care about. It's a shame there's not as much to talk about as there was in the old days, but at least we don't have to wait for the server to take a crap before we can comment on whatever Avril just posted on Instagram. I definitely agree, it's not like we need a "super-duper" forum to enjoy and comment what Avril gives us. If we still had the gallery, we would be served, too bad we don't have it...

I just read that thread and it's really creepy how they are discussing this place and asking if they recognise any of the usernames here especially since this is an open forum that anybody can view and those ones asking that were hardly ever relevant to bandaids. I feel sorry for Bogogog41 (sorry I don't know you're real name) for nobody's having a discussion about you

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". No, I miss it too. 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.i. know. right.

Just lol at all the ATRL discoveries. I just can't even...
And just like you all, I can't understand why some Admins would keep their (privileged) position if they're not going to effectively take care about the forum.

They want the "power" without having to actually do anything. Either that, or they're too lazy to find someone else to take over. I understand there are certain concerns when it comes to passing these things down to other people because there are sensitive things involved like passwords and stuff, so they need to make sure that whoever they give it to is someone they can trust and who will take it seriously, but I can't imagine there's not at least 1 or 2 members around who would be appropriate for the position that also know stuff about forums and computers. They're just too lazy to feel like actually doing it.

I post here hardly ever, but I like reading everyones posts. In 2006-2009 I was fairly active on Bandaids. I remember finding so many unseen pictures of her and I am pretty sad that they are now lost as the gallery doesn't work anymore. Also I'm sad that all those amazing tourpictures from UMS are now gone - you know the time she actually had a different t-shirt on on every night and you could tell by what she was wearing that where she actually was.
I was fairly active on ALBA exodus as well until I got sick of their evil spirits and got myself banned. Came back to Bandaids with this new username, but didn't post as much anymore as I felt I need to have my distance to everyone else.
I'm not sure do I want to have Bandaids back. A lot of the influencal people have lost their interest and if the upgrade is on Sharifas hands, I wouldn't count on it at all. In previous times it has also been said that she is busy. No one is that busy, you can do things if you value them. If I was her, I'd be ashamed how I wouldn't get the forum up as quick as possible. There's so many members who deserve what they paid for. And yes, some of us did. If she doesn't want it anymore - pass it along or just say it's done. No need to drag us all along if it's not coming back online.

Also if money to pay for the upgrade or to keep the site going is the issue then ask us, are we willing to give 5-10$ dollars each? It will at least help a little if not enough.
