SoylentNews
If you read SoylentNews, Ars Technica, Reddit, or anywhere other than the other site, you've probably heard about SourceForge hijacking accounts and monetizing open source software with crapware installers. It seems the other site is intent on burying that information. Perhaps they don't consider it newsworthy?
For those still using SourceForge, there are many superior alternatives.

Kids These Days: Why DICE Holdings Won't Listen [warplife.com]
This kind of thing is why I do not seek investment; I've worked at some venture-backed companies. I'd rather work in a sausage factory.
Now there are some VCs who are very good, such as Ann Winblad and Heidi Roizen. But in my own experience as well as that of many others, VCs are idiots that we would be better off without. For example KnowMed Systems changed its name to iKnowMed so dot-com investors would think it had something to do with this internet (it was a client-server electronic medical records publisher, and was not designed for the Internet in any way).
It is quite difficult to get investment from the better VCs. This has the result that clueless children get funded either by sharks or by idiots.
