That’s so dumb. The community has practically begged them to change their jurisdiction over concerns something like this could happen for many many months. Unfortunately the guys over at OPTF (now STF) never listened. I hope that’s a mistake they won’t repeat again.

Well that’s retarded.

Seen in times to times saying the service and company is way more important
