Why Are You Launching In Beta?

A “beta” is an unfinished software or service, not expected to be the final launch product. Never Shut Up has opted to launch in a “beta” format, as the development process has proven more lengthy than anticipated, content producers are yearning to start posting content, and as an amateur developer, I don’t have the capacity to perform real bug testing. I will continue to work on the site as I am able, but until I feel like it is technically and operationally sound, I will still deem it a beta.
