I was invited, and joined for the heck of it. I'm pretty new to this forum (joined a week or two ago when I thought I might have something to contribute), and received an invite a day or two later. It's a yahoo group, which has a few annoyances in itself.
I've only skimmed a few messages in that forum, and briefly browsed the "top 50 sudoku sites" URL they seem to advertise in every message.
Overall, I'm not very impressed. Haven't seen any messages I consider interesting or significant (to be fair, only skimmed a few). This forum has a very nice topic/thread structure. Yahoo groups lack that.
Their ubiquitously advertised "top 50 sudoku sites" only listed 29 sites, and a few other randomly checked sites were nothing to write home about. They did list Simes site, but none of the other good ones I'd already found.
So I'm not impressed. Others are free to try and decide for themselves.
I consider his method of recruiting from this forum to be rather tacky.
