Ah, right. I guess SF also does. You get more traffic that way too.But yeah, even if you use those sites, I think it's a good idea to also showcase your project on forums that are similarly themed. For example, calc forums. More people will be interested.
Yeah, back in the days, people usually cross-posted their projects on multiple sites. MaxCoderz was usually avoided for pure-BASIC games and UTI for hybrid, though, because those were not received well on those sites. Basically you showcase your work where you can and where you judge it's best. I personally try to cross-post updates on stuff I work on here and Cemetech so it reaches a wider audience. Eventually, people just come to check your stuff.
I have to second the vote for github/gitorious for quick and simple VCS hosting they do the job very well and GIT is a very powerful VCS once you get past the minor learning curve and I have found it to be much nicer than SVN though SVN is quick to setup.

CodePlex does indeed offer a SVN version of the TFS repositories, but it's very slow for me when mirroring WabbitEmu I've been using Git for more than three years, mostly on top of SVN. I only recently started to use pure Git for projects I'm maintaining - for now, ExtGraph and tiosmod/amspatch, but more will follow some time before I leave the TI community.
Codeplex is precisely not that great (I'm not doing mere dumb Microsoft bashing), and anyway, it is far from having the recognition that SourceForge, Google Code or Github have
