Which is sad, that active open source projects are now synonymous with a single companies service built around a single VCS.


It's not necessarily centered around Github (although many open source projects are hosted there) -- there's also Gitlab, Bitbucket. The bigger reason that there's a reaction against SourceForge is that it has a long history of deceptive packaging practices, shady ads, and injecting malware into the packages they were distributing. Now SourceForge is under new, better management, but it's hard to kick that reputation.


I think it's more that sourceforge has bit of a history, and many projects moved away from them.

I wouldn't go as far as calling it a ghost town, but... how do you feel about google code links?
