IIRC, SourceForge was painfully sluggish slow at that point in time, and
they started to push ads in a very annoying way (pop-ups on the website,
and ads in the footers of each mail on the mailing list), so it was a
rather frustrating experience in that year (see
also https://sourceforge.net/p/hatari/mailman/message/20940183/ ).
I think it got better again later, but AFAIK they never managed to get
really popular again.
