If you had been able to read it, you would have seen that removing ads for developers is exactly one of the new parts. That makes them on par with stack overflow, which seems fair.

* Removed bundled adware from projects

* Implemented malware scans for every single project on SourceForge

* Built an HTML5 speed test

* Added multi-factor authentication

* Created an ad reporting tool and team to eliminate bad and/or deceptive ads

* Removed ads for developers (logged in users will not see any ads)

* Added HTTPS support for project website hosting

This is like a restaurant advertising "we've stopped intentionally poisoning our food!"

They don't deserve any chances after that. They're done.

But the person that buys the restaurant and reopens it and puts up an "under new management" sign deserves a chance. That's what happened here.

They should change the name too. I still feel repulsive seeing SourceForge link and never download anything from there. Reputation is easy to lose but very hard to fix,so I'm surprised the new owners chose this path.
