"Using a SourceForge page as your project’s homepage is fine in the early days. But once you get big enough, it’s just not enough. The URL is long and doesn’t seem permanent; the landing page is modular and boring, and it doesn’t really convey that much information about your project. It looks like every other SourceForge project page." It seems to me the author doesn't know sf.net too well. sf.net does still quite well for hosting web pages. I don't know pidgin but I wouldn't be too surprised if the homepage is hosted at sf.net and if pidgin.im simply is an alternative address for pidgin.sf.net. They (sf.net) are notorious for their downtimes though.
