When you take money from someone to provide a service, then it is not rudeness if you don't provide the service (and the forum by existing on their website was implicitly part of the service) it is theft. And if the staff of KJC is accepting a salary and not doing their jobs, that's equally criminal.
But the point isn't important enough to keep arguing. If you think it made Dave's day, since there is no evidence it didn't, I'll take your word for it.
I wouldn't agree that it is either theft or criminal. The forum in question is closed to new registrations. It was probably provided as a courtesy to their players, but they likely didn't guarantee answers to questions posed there by their players.
If poor service were criminal, then there probably would be few, if any, PBM companies remaining in operation, today.
Poor service, in and of itself, would constitute exceedingly vague grounds whereupon to criminalize the occurrences of such. Hell, one can - and often does - receive poor service at a multitude of businesses, across the entire spectrum of business existence.
