Are there any big projects still using SourceForge? I know "big" is a little subjective here, but it seems like most active projects have already migrated.
I think FUSE is still on SourceForge.

I didn't believe you at first, but I just went to install it and...wow... https://imgur.com/a/o6cSW
FileZilla are one of the few major projects who actually agree to this. Complain about it on their forums and you'll get a ban.
FileZilla opted in for this service, and gets a percentage of the revenue generated by installing these malware.

#33With so many alternatives (even besides GitHub) I wonder why some took so much time to change. There was Google Code, Landscape, or even self-hosted Git amongst others.
Don't think Google Code would have been much of an improvement. I'm pretty sure Google has abandoned further development on it and have so for a while now.

#34SourceForge was founded 1999. Now, 16 years later they start to abuse their power. GitHub was launched 2008. Does this mean we can expect GitHub to start abusing our data by 2024?
Quite possibly. As the market matures and gets more competitive, people are being forced to sacrifice every value, one by one, to boost short-term profits. It seems to be a common dynamic in just about every industry.

We're in the process of fully removing ourselves from Sourceforge (LXDE). At work (Pootle), we're also moving our mailing lists away from Sourceforge. They were the last bit of SF we still used.
Where to, if I may ask? I have some small projects I'm trying to get away from SF, and the mailing lists are the hardest bit --- finding mailing list providers which support bulk import isn't easy.

Discourse is what we're currently looking at. They have very nice pricing options for both one-time-installs and continued hosting/support.

MinGW-w64
I tried to find a mirror but couldn't. They link to Sourceforge from their official site.

Google Code's being shut down in January 2016: http://google-opensource.blogspot.ch/2015/03/farewell-to-goo...
There's an automated Google Code to github migration tool.

ScummVM, Inkscape and wkhtmltopdf seem to be hosted there.

Github has a stable business model which depends on their reputation as a host. As I understand it, that isn't something that could ever be said of SourceForge.
I'm not saying github will be around forever, but I highly doubt they'll make the same mistake sourceforge is making now.
