All I remember is that they used to automatically inject ads and spyware to downloadable files. No idea if they still do that, most likely yes

I remember when sourceforge was a good place to get windows software, as I recall it took over from Tucows.

I'm always amazed when I find a project that is still using Sourceforge. I always assume that it is completely unused by any active projects anymore. MX Linux was the most recent one I came across. Their ISOs are on sourceforge, although they use Github for their main repo.

And...apparently Sourceforge was bough by Slashdot in 2019?! Wow. Two early-2000s heavyweights right there.

First CVS I pushed code to.

Maybe I'm tired, or maybe I'm traumatised from sourceforge, but my god did this give me some terrifying laughter
