Move sister sites to a separate page?

I'm not sure that the Stack Overflow page is the best place to talk about the sister sites. Could we either:

Move the sister sites to a separate page and refer to them briefly in this article (with a link to the new page)
Or move the sister sites to the Stackexchange page, again with a brief reference and a link

It just feels like a better fit. --Tdwrigh T 10:21, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Suspension Section

I see no notability whatsoever in this section; thousands of websites have bans/suspensions of this sort and it's not central to the website's function, nor is it novel or otherwise of note. Suggest removing the section completely.--Sirtaptap (talk) 04:43, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Google first, yes--but when you do that many of the results are from forums and other communities. You don't dare ask for further details or clarification when that might lead to your being banned.Pithecanthropus4152 (talk) 21:25, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Average users don't have a chance on Stackoverflow.

 low-quality questions and answers are blocked. This includes posts from:
   users who can't be bothered to form sentences
   users who don't do the most basic kinds of research themselves
   users who barely even explain what it is they are trying to do

To be fair, Stack Overflow's intended audience is not "average users", it's Programmers (both professional and hobbyists) I agree that there is no notability in this section as the suspensions are well documented on the site, relatively rare, and universally reversible.
