“Welcome to ISFAT, and thanks for taking the time to learn about us and what we do! Here, have a virtual cookie. It’s virtual because you’re not really getting an actual cookie. Sorry, did that make you angry? Perhaps you should start an ISFAT about it.

Anyway, let’s start simple: ISFAT stands for ‘It’s So Fucking Annoying That…’

ISFAT is an online community where people can come to seek advice, rant their hearts out, relax, blow off some frustration by playing some arcade games, or just mingle and find some new friends.

You can start an ISFAT for a number of reasons, the most obvious being to rant about something that’s on your mind or something that’s bothering you. But feel free to start an ISFAT to seek advice about a problem you might need some second opinions on, or even just to see what others think about a particular issue. Whatever you create an ISFAT about, just remember one thing. At ISFAT, acceptance is just a post away. (Yeah, that’s basically our take on the grass always being greener on our side - which it is. Green grass all the way.)

I created ISFAT back in August of 2005 with the intention of it being something more than just a forum where you can find people ranting about their problems. Don’t get the wrong idea, that ranting is a vital part of ISFAT. It was designed, however, to take things a step or twelve further.

Ultimately, ISFAT is about taking all of the problems, issues, and conflicts that have been posted by our members, and bringing them into the public spotlight for the whole world to see, comment and share their thoughts on.

With highlighting such issues - ranging from pet peeves and little annoyances; to social dilemmas and relationship problems; to our random and our darkest thoughts - we have one, simple request: listen. Simply listen to what our ISFATs have to say. We aim to improve the world with the hope that from our ISFATs, people might learn something about others, about themselves or about the world, and put that towards becoming a better person.

We’re creating a new generation, educated and complicit with acceptance, understanding, and respect for others.

Optimistic, I know.

But that's the point.”
