I couldn't agree more, we need stop and take a break. Enjoy the stuff we have now and fix what is not working correctly. Adding more features just adds more bugs and exploits, if you have been paying any attention to the web lately you would notice that the a lot of the bugs popping up are 10+ years old.
I have been using it for the last couple of years now and have never had any sort of issue like you are describing. Maybe the site has been injected with something or your friends invite was malicious?
