Freecode Freezeup 62
LeadSongDog (1120683) writes The venerable Freecode site has today gone static, blaming low traffic. No new content is being accepted, but they continue to serve existing content. They recommend projects consider moving to Sourceforge.
Probably obvious, but Freecode/SourceForge/Slashdot share a corporate parent.

I never thought I'd see an "open source" project hosting site devolve to a state that makes CNet Downloads look good.
Indeed. They even include ads that look like fake "Download" buttons (bigger than the download link), and I've even seen installers embed things like McAfee trials and adware in the installers. It's gotten so bad, my company blocks SourceForge downloads at the proxy.
