---- Ten year site is now banned - should I remove interlinking?

Hi fellas, sorry I didnt get back to you all sooner. The site loads very fast so I guess I can rule that out.

Something else is strange, in the last couple days Bing has removed the homepage as well.

So Google removed the website a few weeks ago and now Bing has removed the homepage as well. Pulling our hair out over here trying to figure out what is going on. The odds that both engines decided to completely remove the site within 30 days after almost a decade of no problems seem impossible.

Something must be going on that I/we dont fully understand yet.

Here is what we have checked so far

- Server comes back clean, not hacked, security intact, no parasites
- Page loads are extremely fast
- Tens of thousands of backlinks still in place
- Header check comes back perfect
- Proxy check comes back proper
- DNS comes back perfect in all regards
- No changes to site design in 7 years, very vanilla light onpage seo
- No user inputted data to site, it is all static
- OBL's all manually reviewed and all to good neighborhoods
- GWT shows no access problems besides the site being removed
- Manual review of all code and all pages line by line, page by page

Any ideas fellas? This is very disturbing because I just cant see what we have done wrong that would deserve a penalty let alone a outright ban.
