I've been on SourceForge a while, and I really like it. It always looked a little outdated, and there was the whole malware incident, but for hosting code with discussion boards and ticket systems, it does the job nicely.

Obviously the malware thing was really bad, but in general I think it gets a bad rap because it wasn't the trendy new thing. I personally liked the old UI, but I'm happy for the new change because it's good for the future of the platform.

May I ask why you don't use any of the alternatives? GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, etc.?
I use sourceforge for games, github for other projects, and bitbucket for work. It just happened that I had sourceforge first. For the features I use, they're all pretty much the same... The only "advanced" feature I use is Travis CI integration on github.

Edit: now that I think of it, ive used a githook in bitbucket too.
