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.

It's not purely a corporate thing. As a matter of human relationships, you owe the people you work with the benefit of the doubt on these kinds of things even if people outside your organization don't owe you that.
That said, if the story we're hearing does not involve any misunderstandings of what Dice has done, I'm inclined to think that this is a post-what-you-believe-to-be-true-or-resign moment for the Slashdot editors.
Write your congressman. Tell him he sucks.
