I remember Planet Source Code, it was the Github of the late 1990s. Everything from VB, C++ and HTML samples were there. A one stop community platform. I remember I coded a Windows 98 shell replacement, a Frontpage WYSIWYG clone, an Paint clone, DirectX8 games in VB6. Then MSFT canceled VB7, me people moved elsewhere. Then Sourceforge took over. And later Google Code took over. Then Github took over.



Sourceforge is not dead, it's just sleeping.


Well, technically PSC (Planet Source Code) isn't dead either. There still new VB6/etc code gets uploaded even in 2017. https://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/BrowseCategory...

GitHub is the current thing, PSC/Sourceforge/GoogleCode are still technically (at least read-only) around.
