Assuming a "ban" when some page doesn't work wouldn't be the first 
thought for me...

I don't have any own projects on sourceforge.net, but I tried some project
named "nagelfar", (which has no relation to Java at all), and I could view
the History just fine.

That could mean either:
 - Sourceforge had a problem, and they've since fixed it. 
 - You are using a browser that is too old, or too new, or has
     itself a bug.  Have you tried using a different one?
 - You were indeed banned. (In that case I'd be surprised that
     you can even see anything on sf, so I'd consider this by
     far the least likely possibility)

If there is a project that you still cannot see the History of,
then post its name (and avoid writing another two shiploads of
conspiracy-drivel).
