Publishing wrong information is wrong.

That is correct. We informed SF Conservancy about this but they are so far unwilling to correct it.

SourceForge CEO here. The first paragraph of this article is wrong. SourceForge has been built on Apache Allura since 2011. https://allura.apache.org

Most people have gotten the message that things have changed at SourceForge. We bought it to redeem the name and protect free open source software.

We're a small independently owned private company, and not a single person responsible for those decisions made years ago is still involved with the company. It's been over 3 years…

SourceForge still supports Mercurial https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Mercurial/#pub...

Thanks for the input. I am not trying to be insulting to anyone here. If it came off that way, I apologize. I am just, maybe too frustratingly, trying to get the point across that …

My point was not to be insulting, it was to draw attention to the fact that I don't know this person, just like most people don't know what's going on behind the scenes at SourceFo…

Sorry if my comments rubbed you the wrong way, but it's a bit frustrating when these threads pop up weekly, and people feel like it's open license to attack me and my company. We r…

Well I do appreciate the feedback and valid questions. I will be putting some thought into it.

I'm not frustrated, but these threads show up on HN almost weekly now, with armchair quarterbacks who really are not current on the state of open source opining ill informed opinio…

Ahhh logic and reason. Feels like drinking a cold coca cola in the hot sun. Thank you.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

I don't think "attacking" means what you think it means. Why do you keep posting the same comment over and over?

Man, the definition of the word "attack" has really changed recently.

Our agenda was removing bundled adware and improving user experience. Mystery solved.

Thanks. Yep we killed the bundled adware and fake download buttons on DAY ONE. Nice to hear that at least some people understand that.

Thank you for being reasonable
