It was extremely popular and reputable for open-source hosting. I remember thinking that one of the first considerations when naming a new project was: is MYPROJECTNAME.sourceforge.net available? Never expected to see it decline into the spammy sketch-ville that it is now.

It's like a swanky hotel in a nice neighborhood deciding to start renting rooms by the hour.
