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.

I agree with you. When the Slashdot editors start using mealy-mouthed corporatespeak you know that they've launched into sock puppet mode for the scumbag Dice MBA's who have their hand up their ass. Such a thing was completely unknown on Slashdot before Dice came to town.
