Rereading the Quarterly Newsletter, as all responsible CC'ers should do, I was surprised to realize that Speed Sudoku is not listed as an affiliated website for CC. What is the reasoning behind this (as it is referenced as a "sister site" in the newsletter)?
p.s. I did search for Speed Sudoku, and found a match under the thread "Forbidden Topics." I apologize in advance if I've burned anyone's eyes.

I'm assuming because the Quarterly Newsletter was aimed at past and present users of Conquer Club, talking about Speed Sudoku is either irrelevant or perhaps just in bad taste.

it is interesting because the only affiliated website that speed sudoku lists is Conquer Club:

Yeah, but you're bi-curous about everthing.

Almost. I just live my life vicariously through the bi-curious.

Omg, I just went to speedsudoku.com, and clicked on the forum, and it looks exactly like this one.

cc and sudokus union is divided. having two competing structures in the website. the union and the participation program is a set-up for disaster. sometimes the two structures war over turf.

Really? Cause I would have guess the rift came from the fact that speedsudoku seems to have completely ripped off CC in the entire structure of their website, from the forum right down to the scoreboard (how do you get scores playing a single player game?). That is unless lack created speedsudoku as well? Is lack slowly taking over the entire internet? What's going on!?!

Why would it be in bad taste? I feel like I'm missing something.
