Sourceforge is now on my personal blocklist for Google search results. Along with expertsexchange which I added years ago, and Quora which may surprise some.
- omegafail 11y agoEven Quora? :-) I think they removed the logged-in requirement. At least I have been able to see every answer even though I never registered.
- dpacmittal 11y agoYou can see the answer if you go to the page via a google search result. If a friend sends you a link, they block the answer with that annoying login modal.
- juliangregorian 11y agoIt's pretty easy to delete with the developer tools, though.
- danieltillett 11y agoWhat is wrong with Quora. You may not like their business model, but I don't think they are doing anything terrible like source forge.
- smegel 11y agoUnless it changed recently, but I used to click there through Google search results and still get some blurred out page, or only one answer, or a timeout that tried to make me register. And quite frankly, I prefer the rather diverse universe of stackexchange sites.
- omegafail 11y agoI wouldn't mind hitting Quora through Google on occasion, but sometimes they actually have just a stub page, where the question isn't answered at all, so it shouldn't rank so high.
- danieltillett 11y agoI also prefer the stack exchange sites, but there is some information of Quora that is just not available anywhere else.
- TheMagicHorsey 11y agoRead that as expert sex change, and thought you were revealing some very personal information on HN.
- strictnein 11y agoThat's why they added the - to the domain. experts-exchange.com
- sdoering 11y agoCouldn't find how to do it in Google, did it in my hosts file... For this device sourceforge now lives on 0.0.0.0. May it wither there forever.
