I mean, that's just when they did it fairly deliberately.
Regardless, I think you would be hard pressed to argue SF was a great hosting environment when Google Code launched, which was the point.

But SF had FTP, Websites, SVN hosting and i think even a WIKI, so you can hardly compare it with Google-Code...and hey at least they opensource'd their "forge":
SourceForge was originally open source, but they later closed it. GNU Savannah (https://savannah.gnu.org/) runs on a fork of the last open version of SourceForge.
