From that link:

> My company acquired SourceForge

It's interesting how often you mention they were acquired by someone else but not by whom. It cannot be a secret, but you don't seem to want the parent company known either.

I just spent an hour going down the rabbit hole. Every time I click the "owned by" link, another "owned by" reference appears.

Coulda just asked. Parent company is called BIZX. We own other sites like Wirefly.com, VoipReview.org, Voip-Info.org, and Slashdot.org.
Dice.com is who acquired SourceForge a handful of years ago. My company (BIZX) acquired SourceForge from DICE.

And you could say their ethics were rather... dicey.

(Forgive me.)
