Bugs need to be fixed, absolutely yes. But the mentioned 110 changes range from bugfixes to feature requests and user suggestions. And SoFurry is not just a site that runs on a single box in a rack. It's a distributed system that spans across the atlantic, so there's all kinds of weird effects and problems to solve that a simple standard website never has.
Part of these bugs was also due to the fact that we had to rewrite the way we store content during the switchover. That was a planned activity, we knew we had to do this because we were running out of diskspace on some of our servers, so we had to build a way to distribute the diskspace usage across servers better. This did introduce bugs that we didn't have in the beta before. But frankly, looking at the performance of the site now I have to say: I'm 100% certain that this was the right time to switch over. SoFurry 2 still has the occasional bug, yes, but it's already extremely smooth and a joy to use.
Ravvy: I cannot promise you the world. But I can promise you that we'll do what we can to make the site awesome for ya. We're not gonna fulfill everyone's wishes (how could we?) but you will find that our changelogs (check the sofurry site news of the past months) prove that we're quite responsive.
If there's anything that bothers you, or you have a cool idea, poke me!
And if you're curious as to what's going on right now, check out http://twitter.com/sofurrydev - there you can sneak a peek at the things we fix as well as new features coming up!
