Careful. In your country, you could have some very unpleasant experiences aimed at you for saying such things.

SourceForge is evil anyway. Check out GitHub.
By the way, as a sourceforge user: why was SourceForge evil? I remember reading a post about them becoming evil but I saw no change as their user. What went wrong with them?
It just doesn't make sense. Unless the site contains pornography, there's no reason for such action. :{|
There are bunch of ways to evade blocking depending on method of blocking:
1) Most primitive, but it is good to do anyway — set DNS manually to some independed ines. For example Google Public DNS (8.8.8.8 ; 8.8.4.4).
2) Use proxy server. git works fine with proxies.
If your provider uses DPI, you need encryption.
3) Proxy server using https.
4) VPN tunnel outside.
5) I2P

Check out GitHub.
Github was blocked twice in last three monts by some blockheads in my country :(.
Sourceforge lost popularity because of some intense malware-ridden software that it sponsored heavily.

Aside from that, Sourceforge has always been behind the times when it comes to advertisements. It tends to be slow due to these advertisements. They don't care. The lack of care is a good sign to use another host.
@Nezar: Pornography is probably the least possible "issue" you may have with websites, as long as it doesn't contain minors.
Anyways... I'm one of those who switched to Github. Took a bit to learn git, but got used to it.
