We're a small independently owned private company, and not a single person responsible for those decisions made years ago is still involved with the company. It's been over 3 years since we bought SourceForge and we reversed all the bad decisions on day 1 and never looked back. We still support Mercurial https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Mercurial/#publishing-an-existing-repository https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Mercurial/#pub...

- loganabbott 7y agoMost people have gotten the message that things have changed at SourceForge. We bought it to redeem the name and protect free open source software.
