      D’oh!
      BOOM
      Currently Sourceforge is blocked in South Korea!
      which means…
      I can’t use plugins hosted on Sourceforge.

      Why do you even use Sourceforge?(yes, this is NOT a problem to whine for, and NOT a problem for npp but why…)

          Maybe vent on:

          • a South Korean government site
          • a Sourceforge site

          Well, strike that second one, as the first one seems to be where the blame lies.

          But…are a lot of current plugins still on Sourceforge? If so, gotta give that a big ugh as Sourceforge sucks and is only a sad vestige of what it used to be. I guess there is not much to be done for older plugins that are no longer really actively maintained (and were created back in the SF hey-day, and thus remain likely forever there).

          But really…we can listen to your ranting/venting, but can’t help. :(

            don’t worry, this place is specifically designed to be a venting valve for all of us.

            notepad++ has left sourceforge a long time ago, but we do not have any influence to motivate all plugin developers to do the same.

            many thanks and best regards.

              Thanks for the positive reaction.
              Well, currently this is what I did:

              1. vented to Sourceforge(in the form of email)-yes, at least the Sourceforge people told me that they’ll look into it, but it’s very likely that it’s an automated response.
              2. could not vent to South Korean government site:
                as always, each government agencies deny their responsibility in this situation. nobody seems to take care of the problem.
                (just an update for whom interested in this problem)
