Parking old PR0 domain on new domain

Is it bad?

[xmarklar]

If you have a site on a subdomain (mybobsleds.mysite.com) that you inadvertently ruined by getting a PR0 ranking, what would be the implications of obtaining a new domain (www.mybobsleds.us) and parking the old subdomain on top of the new one so that visitors to old site will still come to new site, and stats for both will be merged?

All marketing of the old domain would cease and there would be no association or connection (links or otherwise) between the two domains. Is there any possibility Google will be able to connect the two sites and give the new domain a bad PR too?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I dont think Google will transfer a penalty thru a 301 redirected site to the new one. That is assuming the site is penalized and that they didnt just drop the PR due to not counting "questionable" links that were giving you PR before.

Oh, so PR0 doesn't always imply that a penalty has been given? I was under the opposite impression.

I'm in no position to judge whether your site has a penalty or not. What I have experienced though, suggests that sometimes Google will just not count links it deems "questionable", thus, removing all the PR you had before and producing a PR0.
