In the website source forge dot net.

"Forge" sounded like "Force" to me always. But I never looked in a translator until now.

Seems like Forge has a meaning of falsification, which I don't think was the sense intended here.

What does it mean in this context?

Means 'create' here.
Like 'forge' an axe out of iron.

I know what Forge means and this double meaning never occurred to me before. Perhaps it was intended.

We can add it to ...

pen island.net (space inserted because the forum software doesn't like this domain name ... strange)
whorepresents.com (that's who represents in case you thought something else)
therapist.com (for therapists)
powergenitalia.com (Italia as in italy)
therapistfinder.com
gasheating.co.uk (gas heating for those who don't get it)
molestationnursery.com (now wisely redirected to molerivernursery.com)

Actually I am not so sure that these were all selected in error. Pen¦sland for example, how much traffic does that site get just because of it's domain name?

... thinking cap goes on!

I knew about all those sites, which meaning can vary depending where you put an imaginary space.

But is Source Forge in this same case!? Why!? I can't see it!
