Things we have observed
- Our site is like 9 years old and is a pr 7 flirting with 8 "authority site", we have hundreds of thousands of links.
- Over the last 2 weeks a massive portion of our pages have been moved to the supp index, when I mean massive I mean 85% of the stuff that has been in for years. Unique hand made highly deeplinked stuff.
- I know toolbar pr means nothing but I see 3 floating sets of toolbar pr.
- Our google traffic is down bout 35%
- Much of the stuff replacing our pages makes almost no sense at all. Not even vaguely related to the subject.

We have been doing this before Google was alive and we will be here long after but after some reflection I had a good friend in the industry double check our stuff and make sure its not us, he does work for many of the webs biggest properties.

After careful review he said
"when google is messing with sites like this, nothing is sacred anymore"

That about wraps it up for us, we are moving on to other focuses and not playing this childish game anymore.
