They had to know when they bought it. Can't feel that bad for them, they knew.

Hmm. I wonder what their agenda is.

Not assuming absolute malice, but I am really curious.

I wonder too.

A legacy brand sometimes has value, or at least is valued, but this one has a lot of tarnish.

They're still around (surprising) so maybe they're kinda ... making something money wise? I dunno...

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.

This reminds me of MySpace.

What's going on over there now?

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