It was because ep was doing things (technically) illegally and impeding federal investigations by allowing and fighting for complete anonymity and refusing warrants for data information, they have to say there's no affiliation for legal reasons

@Serenity7: You may have to re-read EP's own statement on the closing at:
http://www.experienceproject.com/until-we-meet-again
...
Governments and their agencies are aggressively attacking the foundations of internet privacy with a deluge of information requests, subpoenas, and warrants. We, of course, always support proper law enforcement efforts, but the well-documented potential for even abuse, even if unintentional, is enormous, and growing.
...
Finally, the sophistication of "bad apples," as few as they thankfully are, has increased dramatically. They are better able to cover their tracks and evade user bans by using mobile and encryption networks, and they use information to exploit the trust of others through social engineering.
...
As said, SW's really done nothing to address any of these concerns, beyond the fact that it's still much smaller than EP was.

Spam. They don't connect accounts though, you can choose any username and upload your EP export, but they don't currently allow you to actually import it in. (Work in progress, though - but I mean there's no "connection", just simple export/import to new site if it ever works)
SW-User
The ongoing struggle to bring us new features approximating EP suggests to me that SW is entirely different management.
