After almost 5 years, I'm admitting to myself that I have to give up on further developing Speed Sudoku. Basically it loses too much money and I have no time to take care of it. I actually shut down the website for 5 hours until Sandsam convinced me otherwise. The main server has been permanently shut down so I took out a few features like live chat to make this work on my basic webhosting account. Now the opponent progress meters don't work and everything is slow. We'll see how this goes... at the very least everyone will have a chance to say "goodbye" and exchange contact info with their friends.
Please visit SudokuCup which has sudoku races and even tournaments. Hopefully many of you will join there and stay in touch!
Thank you all for playing and making Speed Sudoku a nice little community. I issued partial refunds to those who recently purchased Premium Membership.
