We will get this resolved. DevShare elimination was just the first step. It's only been 2 weeks. Hopefully you'll see in time we are serious about regaining trust, and are wholly different than the previous owners.

We're going to improve the design as well. It's only been 2 weeks since we acquired the site. Hope we'll earn your trust back in time.

Well we scrapped the DevShare program in the first week we owned it, and it's not coming back.

Well, I'll assume shuttering the site isn't an option. Be careful also because apparently using the word "the" before the word "site" is taboo to some commenters here. We're going to do the obvious stuff f

They did not block us, but all deceptive download buttons are coming off of SourceForge. Many of those "deceptive" download ads are actually served from Google AdX, but we are going to make it easy to report them when they arise s

We own hundreds of websites, a very small percentage of which are travel related. Most of them are technology related sites.

Hi, Logan Abbott from BIZX here. The OP is misinformed, and he certainly wasn't at our first company meeting as we announced that the first order of business was to discontinue DevShare entirely. We disagree with some of the previous m
