Я из СПБГУ, зарегистрировалась в 2007 вконтакте, благодаря приглашению друзей из спбгу. Подтверждаю, что когда мы писали в службу поддержки, писали так: "Паша, исправь, пожалуйста", " Паша, я не могу .... " И прилетало быстро очень: "готово! Посмотри"

I will do a push up for every like this comment gets Edit: Alright, stop it. I’m tired
