Maybe you can tell me, since I only noticed around 2007-2008. Did Sourceforge always suck balls?

  It was never a great user experience but as the dotcom boom died out and the money went away, they got worse and worse as they got sold a few times.

  Sourceforge used to be a primary location for getting software. It did suck balls, but we were grateful to have it in a time where it was possibly the best option.

    Imo it wasn't that bad, but maybe that was just because code-centric sites like github didn't exist yet. It tried to provide you with a simple landing page for your open source project that can offer you a download button, centered around releasing compiled, versioned software. Their offering of a VCS (svn and CVS IIRC) was more of an added bonus. But once github was there you started wondering how sourceforge ever seemed good.
