Just found out recently that the original author of blackbox migrated the code to a GitHub repo as recently as 2015. Unfortunately, no commits since then.
Fluxbox, baby. I tried Hackedbox (hard to tell the difference from Fluxbox IMO), Windowlabs (clunky) and maybe a couple others in passing but have used Fluxbox exclusively for 10 years or more.
Initially because of the low-end laptop I had and needed to be resource conscious. It does everything I need it to and wouldn't use anything else now.

that is not the information i get from that repository.
to me it looks like:
- it has been on github for 17 (!) years
- the latest commit was 4 years ago

Looking at the commit log, I see the maintainer's username is not linked to his profile, except for the very last commit. I suspect the SF cvs repo was migrated to a git repo, thereby retaining dates of commits.
Also was basing my assumption on the comments and dates on this ticket.
Oh, and a link (that leads to the Git repo) near the top of the blackbox SF summary page, the text reads " As of 2015-06-19, this project can be found here."

i don't fully understand it, but upon closer inspection it seems you're right.
I'll second that - used it on FreeBSD for a long time, best minimal window manager I ever used. Used to be default on openBSD but now FVWM is, which I don't like at all.
