This pains a lot of us who used to work at VA. It was a combination of the dot com bubble bursting and mismanagement which caused everything to implode. I remember saying at the time "if we can't make money during the largest economic upswing ever, when the hell are we going to make money?" I think if we'd had any kind of fiscal responsibility we might have been able to survive the rocky years. At the time though, the idea was to ditch manufacturing and put everything behind SourceForge. In retrospect, that probably wasn't a horrible idea, except for that someone got the bright idea that the only way to for SourceForge to make money was to sell banner ads. I think GitHub proved that was a bad idea.
