I suspect the new management team of SourceForge and Slashdot will do their very best to right past ills and turn the tide.<p>However, it&#x27;s not a bet I&#x27;d be making.  SourceForge is still home for some file distribution and, perhaps issue management,  (thinking binaries) for a surprising number of projects... But for a lot of them actual development activities, the life blood of these projects, are mostly focused on github. In a sense, SourceForge is just a legacy to be dealt with.  For SourceForge to come back in any meaningful way, they 1) have to do some serious modernizing and 2) github has to seriously screw up: probably rather moreso than the Dear GitHub issues.<p>As for Slashdot, I came to HN because of the poor quality of moderation and the juvenile quality of the community on Slashdot nowadays.  Perhaps it was always like that and I&#x27;m just older now... But it seems to not be the site I originally grew to love in the 90&#x27;s.  Last year I&#x27;d had enough and I don&#x27;t see any need to go back now that I read HN.
