I remember back when 15ish years ago when SourceForge was a neat thing. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why I would go there for any reason. Let alone host anything I cared about on that domain.
It's not even death by a thousand cuts, which y'all have done to yourself, but you also just failed to provide anything in the last 10 years that felt like it wasn't a cop out. Ignoring the abysmal failures and adware issues, which should be a non starter anyway.
We have tons of options that aren't SourceForge. Why is this even really a discussion? Gonna link to your SF from your My_?
EDIT:
Apparently SF is under new management and they are trying to change people's perception and are making good by a some accounts. I stand by what I said before I knew that, but I look forward to them contributing to the community in a way we can all respect.
- rblatz 8y agoYou are replying to the new CEO that bought sourceforge in 2016 and stopped the shady behavior and terrible practices.
- stuntkite 8y agoWell... I can say honestly, I haven't looked at the site since the adware bundling in GIMP fiasco. That was so criminal, I just couldn't fathom looking again. I guess that's my bad, but is illustrative of the public perception hole they have to climb out of. Good on 'em for trying to do better. I still fondly remember days of the first places I looked in the morning were SF and Slashdot. My apologies for being out of the loop.
- loganabbott 8y agoThanks. We obviously have to do a better job of getting the word out. I appreciate what you said though.
- stuntkite 8y agoI appreciate you getting out here to talk to people and trying to do the best by your platform. I promise to give y'all a fair shake in the next few months and I wish you the best going forward.
