In my books SourceForge has a worse rep than Microsoft has ever had since bundling what could basically be comparable to viruses in installers in the past

- loganabbott 8y agoYeah that was bad. Which is why I bought SourceForge and removed the bundled adware immediately in 2016. We're completely different owners and anyone involved with the bundling back then is no longer at SourceForge.
- ocdtrekkie 8y agoThere's a certain irony that you're hoping people will forgive Sourceforge after two years, because of a change of ownership, from people who haven't forgiven Microsoft for things that happened upwards of twenty years ago when it was also under different leadership. Good luck, though, we need more alternatives out there, and today's probably a great time to remind people you're an option.
- loganabbott 8y agoThanks. We still have 500,000 projects and over a million daily users, so at the very least, we're focused on doing right by them. But the more the merrier, and the more options out there the better the OSS community is.
