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.

A lack of transparency is not a problem I've noticed around here :)
[1] Just to be clear, I'm in no way suggesting that this is a bad thing.
