We used to use phpBB, but it was rife with security holes, one of which got exploited to grant the attacker forum admin access. After that the decision was made to switch to vBulletin for the security and better functionality. Most users don't see the mod/admin end of it, but vb actually does have a nice array of management features.

misdirected donations
 

After about a week's wait since submitting a complaint about my donations not going where I had said they were supposed to go (to the devs), I finally got a response. It didn't say much other than acknowledge my query and that they would get back to me. Below is the response to my huffy email to them:

Greetings, We are aware of the reported issue and are looking into the problem. I don't have more details to report on the issue at this time, but when I do, I'll post more details to this ticket. Thank you, David Burley Quality of Service Analyst, SourceForge.net

In the meantime, where the f is the money???
Anyway, at least they acknowledged that there is a problem. If I don't hear back after a week I guess I'll take it to Paypal.

I wait since many time a answer to my ticket, they only say me to be patient but i think sourceforge don't care about wrong donations...

Received my money back today, FINALLY
 

Just wanted to say that Sourceforge returned my money today. They emailed me yesterday explaining that it was a problem with their code amongst other things which screwed up my donations. Today paypal sent me 2 emails, showing 10 bucks returned to me from each donation I made.

Anyway, they are at least being responsible about it. Hopefully everyone else who complained will also get their money back. I would be happier though if they would simply send the money to where it was supposed to go in the first place, namely to Father Nitwit and Doodman. <shrugs />

Sourceforge returned my money yesterday by paypal ! Just my miss-donation (50$), not the second :) i'm happy to see my money back after some months...
