Think of it this way: when someone with an adblocker like uBlock tries to access a sourceforge project page, they get a warning screen. Some people are aware that this is because of sourceforge's recent change in business practice, but the average user might think that the software they're trying to download is bad for their computer and will navigate away. It's potentially damaging to your name and your projects' reputation is what I'm trying to say. > I'd hate to see something happen to such a wonderful program. > > > that sounds a tad over the top. ;) > Fair point, it does. I didn't mean to make it sound like something out of Godfather, sorry. :) But to be fair, they have become pretty shady. They took over VLC's project page without notice, for example: https://blog.l0cal.com/2015/06/02/what-happened-to-sourceforge/ Anyway, I'm aware that this exchange might be disruptive to your work, so I just wanted to thank you for the time you took to consider this matter. I really appreciate it.
