What does ISFAT stand for and who was the stud that thought of it?
ISFAT stands for "It's So Fucking Annoying That..." and is the brain child of an extremely handsome young lad named Jordan - more commonly known as evil, ISFAT's founder and head administrator. Hehe,
head administrator.

ISFATs are generally rants about what annoys you or a specific issue that's bothering you. However, it's not limited to that, oh no! For details about what you can start an ISFAT for, see the 'About ISFAT' page.
