Enjoy the Choice
Also fwiw, I poked HellcatV wrt. SourceForge being sold/etc. and I believe he's interested in exploring a move to GitHub. He says he's PM'd Gonzo -- not sure he'll actually show up in the forums aside from that.
(Even if we don't have time for active development, we're rather averse to, for instance, SF's new (or old) owners deciding we're abandoned and turning the release DLs into bundleware or other silliness )
my 2 cents regarding storage/etc. concerns among various hosts (or less than 2 cents because... I just glanced at things briefly over lunch today):
a) Wouldn't worry about storage/BW at GitHub as a first order concern until/unless problems actually arise -- note that VS would be broken up into multiple repositories so that a git-appropriate teams-based access paradigm could be employed
b) If storage/BW concerns of the minor (i.e. thou shalt upgrade thy account as opposed to major=mortgage your house for the bandwidth bill) variety arise, I imagine that the gainfully employed among the elderly post-developer set can manage a few $/month, somehow, to make sure the lights stay on.
c) gitlab seems reasonable, but a cursory glance didn't seem to indicate a particularly better set of offerings. Maybe I'm missing something (I miss a lot these days )
