Goodbye, Sourceforge
What's unsettling about this is that Slashdot also belongs to the same company that turned SF into the crapware distributor that it is now.

Not only that, but a quick search for GIMP on Slashdot turns up absolutely no discussion about the hijack. There was an <a href="

in 2013 that GIMP was moving</a>, and <a href="
http://developers.slashdot.org/story/13/11/14/2036200/source...
a week later</a> about SF's ad policies (LOL!), but absolutely nothing from this week. Color me unsurprised. I knew /. was heading downhill, but this is the final nail in the coffin.

Slashdot split from Thinkgeek a few years back.

Both Slashdot and SourceForge are currently owned by the company that owns Dice.com.

Good point. Thanks.
I'd thought Collab.net ended up with them. Need to review the history.

Collab ended up with the business version, SourceForge Enterprise Edition (SFEE), which was a Java rewrite of sourceforge.net shipped as installed software.
