I remember being a very opinionated teenager on the old site and getting into arguments with a certain member of staff allllll the time. I’d been on BA since the pre-UMS days so I never really got his weird superiority complex.
In fact, that’s probably who I was talking about in my post before when I was wondering who I was being so bitchy about in 2018 lol.
As far as I’m concerned, someone who can’t afford to buy Avrils latest album can still be as big a fan as someone who has the time and money to follow her all around the world. That didn’t seem to be the opinion of some of the staff on the old BA and it made for an horrendous atmosphere towards the end. I don’t even know who is staff on this forum a lot of the time because everyone just gets on and treats everyone the same and it’s great, no weird divides!

Also it’s a shame the staff here don’t get the same privileges with Avril as the staff from the old site did and still do. They deserve it just as much.

I very much agree with everything you said in your last 2 posts here! I've been here for not even a year but I felt super welcome from day 1, the people on here generally are really nice. And indeed the current stuff deserves this as well! They put just as much work into this forum!

Hi Everyone, just saw this old thread being mentioned in the Love Sux thread. It's great to see how the Community changed throughout the years, through ups and downs (reminds me a bit of the history stories where clans built and fought for lands 😂 - no offence to anyone!). I just wanted to say that I love the atmosphere here. I knew about Bandaids in 2012 but didnt follow much until 2018 and didnt join until 2021. It's such a great place to share interest in Avril's music and her work!

Hello fellow Avril fans!... With Avril back on the scene it’s had me thinking if Bandaids was still around, but it turns out (after some research) that it is nothing compared to it’s former glory; which makes me sad to be honest but hey I guess we all grow up and I get why Sharifa lost the passion for it. Anyway the reason I open this thread... is there anyone on here now from back on the day? The Best Damn Thing era was when I spent most my time on the site, with the likes of Hunter, Adam, Louis, Sinead... can’t remember many other names off the top of my head sorry!... hopefully some of you are out there that I will remember anyway! Chris Wow!! Those names take me back. I was quite active around that time too but I can’t for the life of me remember my screen name. Either legolas79 or edgeofseventeen17 …. Who knows. I feel like I argued a lot with somebody called Vulps but that may have been during the GL era

My original username was AvrilxSaysxDontxTellxMe and I was a brat. I changed my display name after I matured a bit, and I didn't want to be remembered as the one who always defended Avril or other forums. But I was mostly in the creative forum and I always participated in the Signature of the Week. I miss some members from there, but it's nice to have at least some SotW posts to look back on! I've used AvrilBandaids for photos since 2007 - back when I used to make fanmade and lyrics videos. However, I didn't join the social aspect until maybe 2010. (I miss making videos! But sadly, having my accounts being taken down due to copyright has made it very hard to start again. I just want to make videos for fun. I wasn't monetizing them. )
