Sourceforge is now on my personal blocklist for Google search results. Along with expertsexchange which I added years ago, and Quora which may surprise some.

What is wrong with Quora. You may not like their business model, but I don't think they are doing anything terrible like source forge.

Unless it changed recently, but I used to click there through Google search results and still get some blurred out page, or only one answer, or a timeout that tried to make me register.
And quite frankly, I prefer the rather diverse universe of stackexchange sites.

I wouldn't mind hitting Quora through Google on occasion, but sometimes they actually have just a stub page, where the question isn't answered at all, so it shouldn't rank so high.

I also prefer the stack exchange sites, but there is some information of Quora that is just not available anywhere else.

Even Quora? :-)
I think they removed the logged-in requirement. At least I have been able to see every answer even though I never registered.

You can see the answer if you go to the page via a google search result. If a friend sends you a link, they block the answer with that annoying login modal.

It's pretty easy to delete with the developer tools, though.

Couldn't find how to do it in Google, did it in my hosts file...
For this device sourceforge now lives on 0.0.0.0. May it wither there forever.

Read that as expert sex change, and thought you were revealing some very personal information on HN.
