Just submitted the story to Slashdot [1]. Sharing the same owner as Sourceforge let's see if it gets "buried" [2] (or "late released due to an editor vacation" [3] as it was their explanation) or if they publish it in a timely manner and within the spirit of the submission.

This is all such a shame. GitHub is to Sourceforge what HN is to Slashdot.

Slashdot and Sourceforge, is it 2006 again? ;)

Granted it's been, uh, a little while since I've last tried, but my recollection is that Slashdot's submission process has always been arbitrary and frustrating. I wouldn't necessarily attribute lost submissions to malice.

Looks like your submission has made it to the /. front page. I confess I'm at a loss for a meaningful comment on what that says...

The submission was accepted on Slashdot [1] but with several modifications that changes "Fyodor accuses Sourceforge of hijacking nmap account" to "Fyodor warns that he doesn't control Sourceforge nmap mirror", among other things. I detailed the changes made and why they were biased in a comment on the same submission.
