I sent him a PM with the same suggestion (to avoid giving an URL for SourceForge). And I stressed to be sure and check the real traffic.
Personally I feel that site shows ALOT of whats going on in the game development world. There are many Many MANY projects there which are listed as C/C++. But looking at the projects which have actually progressed, and even completed their projects, give a very different picture. Many of the projects seem to have chosen their language of choice based on desire and possible impressions/stereotypes of what it should be done in. I sometimes think that the automatic recommend of C/C++ for learning, doing, career, has done alot toward blowing off many projects/programmers which should have started with something else and maybe moved on to C/C++ later when they really knew why and had the motivation to accomplish it
