  Huh. Didn't know this. Thanks!

    I did read that and I think it was posted here too, but a lot of the comments were on the line of "that's commendable, but the name is already tarnished." Shame really.

      They did a pretty good job on Slashdot so far, and I think the community response has been rather positive. Hopefully they can turn SF around, as well. GitHub is great, but it's good to have competition to avoid monocultures.

        It is my understanding that they haven't done much at slashdot as the issues with sourceforge were much more pressing. As such I haven't seen any changes occur at slashdot since the take over. I've only seen the slow, steady decline of slashdot continue. Which is unfortunate because every once and a while you see the low UID people make some stellar comments and it reminds me why I stick around despite vastly superior alternatives like hackernews.

        Oh wait, they bought Slashdot too? I thought that was still owned by Dice.

          They bought the whole enchilada. https://meta.slashdot.org/story/16/01/29/0247219/slashdot-and-sourceforge-sold-now-under-new-management https://meta.slashdot.org/story/16/01/29/0247219/slashdot-an...

      Why should the name matter? The owners, the intent behind a thing, how it is run. That is what matters.
