A lot of misconceptions above:

1. I use both Squeak and Pharo, both at work (3DICC) and for pleasure. 
What has that got to do with SS? AFAIK SS doesn't care.

2. My own personal projects are probably my own to decide over, right? 
My whole point was described in another reply to Levente (note that I am 
now talking about my own account, not Andreas):

- I don't trust SS (and that is my choice)
- I can't create new projects there and I want to use a single service
- I don't want people to find a stale StompProtocol project when the 
current place for StompProtocol is on StHub
- StHub works just as fine as an MC source as SS

Now, what I *did* was that I added a bold note on each project that I 
had copied over - so that people would see that "Oh, this is not 
maintained". Now, those notes *ALL DISAPPEARED*. This is why I am now 
contemplating removal of the projects instead.

What?!

Its not that easy anymore - SqueakMap is not used outside of Squeak 
(Pharo), and I would dare say its not even used 100% in the Squeak 
community.

Further - it doesn't matter - I should be free to choose which 
repository I use for my code, don't you agree? If you want to copy my 
projects and publish them in your account - feel free to do so.

But preventing me from moving my primary repo to somewhere else than SS 
is ... rude to say the least.

See my response to that, I *did* and it got removed. See?

Sigh... why are people suddenly so hostile?
