A New Mirror for the game... [Upcoming Sorceforge Bullshit]
« on: June 17, 2015, 07:28:52 pm »
As you may/may not know... Sourceforge has been bought out... Normally it would have not dire consequence except...

http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/05/sourceforge-grabs-gimp-for-windows-account-wraps-installer-in-bundle-pushing-adware/

All abandoned projects now are being grabbed by sourceforge and then being wrapped in an adware injector.
 So thoughts on a new mirror/site?

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

Liberal Crime Squad Defends SourceForge
The Liberal Crime Squad responds to allegations that SourceForge is bundling adware with Liberal software by pointing out that nothing in their list of LIBERAL political issues prevents SourceForge from doing 'legitimate fundraising'. "Is SourceForge spending millions of dollars on military boondoggles? Is SourceForge producing evil pollution or standing in the way of abortion rights? Of course not!" said one LCS journalist munching on a Liberal brownie. "Since what SourceForge is doing is not conservative, it must therefore be liberal."

"We await the promised Liberal utopia where bots will do all the hard work, ensuring that humans will have more free time to download SourceForge's adware."
