In an effort to address a number of concerns we have been hearing from

the media and community at large, we at SourceForge would like to note

that we have stopped presenting third party offers for unmaintained

SourceForge projects.

While we had recently tested presenting easy-to-decline third party

offers with a very small number of unmaintained SourceForge projects,

we discontinued this practice promptly based on negative community

feedback. At this time, we present third party offers only with a few

projects where it is explicitly approved by the project developer, or

if the project is already bundling third party offers.



As a company, we at SourceForge pride ourselves on being highly

responsive to our community members and, with that in mind, do our

best to respond to all communications and address all concerns in a

timely manner. We encourage anyone that would like additional

information about our practices or specific issues they have to reach

out to us directly by using the “Help” link in the header of the

SourceForge site, which provides contact information for our Support

team and which will ensure any questions or issues you may have are

resolved in an efficient manner. As usual feel free to contact us also at communityteam@sourceforge.net.
