That just tells me your breadth of knowledge of the open source landscape is limited. You can scroll down this thread to see plenty of big projects still at SourceForge.

Other than these uninformed HN threads, most people can distinguish between the owners that did the bad stuff, and the owners that bought it specifically to undo the bad stuff.

My company had nothing to do with it, but it's worth noting you're one of the few people who actually remembers the actual non-revisionist history.

Why would you feel bad for us? We removed the malpractices right away, became profitable, improved the experience for over a million daily users, and are growing at a rate not seen since before the problems. I'd say we have the opposite of a problem. A few random armchair quarterbacks on Hackers News aren't gonna get us down.

This diatribe just tells me Websense and you are not informed on the current state of the open source community. We bought SourceForge in 2016 specifically because we hated what happened with DevShare and killed it on day one. You can continue hating us simply because of the previous owners, but you can probably find better stuff to do with your time. Nobody uses WebSense anymore anyway except for high schools trying to stop students from watching porn during art history class.

We have nothing to do with the previous owners. In fact, FileZilla from their own official site still has a bundled installer, but we made them remove it from SourceForge. SourceForge FileZilla is cleaner than the official site. Check VirusTotal to verify.

Ship's still in port actually. Over a million users a day. They're on board and we're improving it for them. Bitbucket's cool too, but it's just a different ship.

Do you know we have nothing to do with the people that made the decisions to do that bad stuff? I, like you, didn't like it, so I bought SourceForge to remove the bad stuff. I still get shit for it. Kinda weird because the people giving me shit didn't put their financial wellness or reputation on the line to fix what they didn't like, but still armchair quarterback about it. It's like someone saw it fit to burn down a museum, and then someone stepped in to save it and everything inside of it, but still takes the blame for the person who wanted to burn it down. Very odd...

Yeah we're profitable now without DevShare. Lotta people hated what happened to SourceForge, including me. That's why I bought it and removed DevShare.
