... have you noticed any adverse effects?

Hard to tell, as I got very few traffic from MSN/serach.live before, and when looking at the raw logs now, I still see some real users occasionally coming from MSN, after all.
So doesn't look like a hard ban. Another piece of FUD from MSN?

Since the logs are screwed up by their ongoing* log spam and are therefore worthless, I can't tell for sure, if it is the same amount of traffic as before, or more, or less.

*ongoing: yes, this unfamous operation is still ongoing. Not high volume, but annoying.

Kind regards,
R.
