Someone put me in contact with Sharifa, to fix the the old vBulletin board and bring the gallery back I have time at the moment to mess up with old depricated PHP code and database errors I could put it online just for the sake of making an archive subdomain for it,and make old posts acessible, and forum innactive just for displaying +10 years of AvrilBandaids At this time, I think it doesn't worth much getting out of this boards platform, since we are already settled here for quite long We've been over this several times and it isn't the appropriate thread; this site is staying and sharifa has no intention of bringing it back nor letting someone else do it or restoring it as an archived. The gallery will be coming to this site eventually. How do you know her "intentions"? Did you asked her? The only problem I clearly saw back in the day, is that she probably doesn't have the tecnical knowledge to understand what's going on with that messed up PHP CMS full of security holes / outdated plugins and it's messed database from SQL injections If it was running properly all she needed to care about would be to pay a cheap yearly hosting bill and it's domain Scrapping static content from Archive.org it's ridiculous and a waste of time if you don't use automation, but Archive.org it's very inconsistent when you want to scrap a site with hundreads of thousand pages, most of them if are there, are from unsyncronized time lenghts Bringing a gallery with hundreads of thousand images without using the backup makes no sense also, as far as I know it was using Coppermine gallery script with the vBulletin forum integration

Personally, I think Sharifa was very knowledgeable but she just lost interest, and wanted to move on with her life. And that is fine. You've asked this around 3 times now- while I appreciate you offering your help Sharifa doesn't want the site back as I've told you before, she's far too busy to run it now and all of the old staff are doing things in their lives that make them not have any time for Bandaids anymore. I get you don't like this forum platform (and that is fine) but this is Bandaids now, we wouldn't be here if the other admins didn't leave the site to decay but it's happened, and we're on a fresh new site. The archive.org project here is a member run project for a archive of this forum, should it ever close or go down. The Gallery should be returning soon using the backup, currently we just are waiting to get it, I'm not sure where you got the idea that we wouldn't use the backup to restore it. I'm going to move these posts to the appropriate thread. EDIT: I've been informed why you may struggle to take what I'm saying into account- I had no idea about this so I do apologize. However, my points still stand about BA not coming back.
