What I'd like to know the most is a rough schedule of when the upgrade is finished for the forums and the gallery. Any time this year, or perhaps 2016? I don't care if it's going to be next month or next year, as long as I would have SOME IDEA of what to expect. I'm not expecting miracles from Sharifa who probably has a day job and a life outside of Avril fandom, but surely she has some kind of goal for herself?

The last we heard about the upgrade was in March and that was after 2 months of issues the new server is finally up, but it needs to be optimized and secured first- the server taking 2 months to set up is the main cause as to why the upgrade has taken so long.

Bandaids.com is still down.
Isn't it at least possible to configure the domain settings for avrilbandaids.com? That it will connect to this site? I really think, this soultion won't be "temporary"!

Sadly we are not performing the upgrade and nor do we have any power to change the domain, we have asked for a update about the upgrade and we haven't got a response

I don't understand what's so hard about them giving you guys an update. It takes like 10 seconds to send an email. And actually it's really quite rude of them when you guys have asked them multiple times for an update and they just ignore you. This has been going on for how many months? And they can't be bothered to let us know what's going on? SMH

It is quite ridiculous how they cannot give any updates about BA's progress. I can only think of two reasons why they wouldn't want to give us an update: either the upgrade is still in the same stage as it was when they gave the last update, or the upgrade isn't happening at all and they are cowardly avoiding telling us.
Either way, like Bogo said, an email barely takes any time and effort. Regardless of what the current progress of the update, it would be very considerate of them to answer back instead of rudely ignoring you.

Oh well, if Bandaids never comes back or they lose a lot of members, it will be their own fault. At least the staff here was smart enough to get a temporary forum going in the meantime, which overall has been successful. It was definitely needed when Avril came out with her news of being sick and the release of Fly and all that. Nothing could ever replace the old Bandaids and it would be a shame to lose all of our data from there, the gallery, the old threads, the old SOTW entries, everyone's profile data, etc. but at least we still have a place to discuss Avril and that's what I'm sure most of us care about.

Not to mention:- -No downtime -No waiting 5 minutes for a page to load -PM conversations which aren't a nightmare to keep track of Maybe these things could have been fixed, but that's obviously not happening. As it stands I'd say the temp site is an improvement over "real" Bandaids. I'd take functionality over a few fond memories. The only thing I miss is the gallery, but oh well life goes on.
