Oh really? I think we are all shocked and awed. Seems like we are all hopeful in getting our lives back. Who can sleep now?

Who can sleep now?
Me, I hope. Been through the getting slammed into PR0 hell several years ago.
Nothing new, just sucks when it's close to the holidays.
Goodnight crazy people with nothing else to do. See ya when something really happens and hopefully, I'm not one that's crying!
Been in the box for 10 months and it appears nothing can affect my site because I am no where to be found in google.
No changes at all for me.
Except of course adwords.
Finally, somebody recognizes the problem... but it's too late now. One day we'll look back on all this and ask ourselves why on earth we wasted a few of our limited days like this.
Now it appears when I said some foreign language and other pages were not back it seems what is not back are some /directories/ on the site. The other stuff in the directory where the non-English stuff is is also not back, so it seems the language part doesn't matter, one or two directories continue to not be back... which of course is yet another "that is weird" thing.

are the link exchanges dead or what? ;)
I've been following these forums for a year or two, but haven't registered before. As someone else pointed out way back in this thread, if you're unaffected, then you don't really have anything to say. Well, this is the first G update in 6 years that hit me - down to 400+ from top 20 listings on all key phrases I monitor and zero G traffic - so I guess it's time to join the ranks.
There seems to be a lot of excitement about 66.102.7.99, 66.102.7.104 and that group, but I'm pretty sure these are pre-Jagger results; but with allowances for current data. We are back in all previous positions for all keywords on these IPs, and all other sites appear as before; including other good (and clean) sites that were hit. None of the other groups of IPs show this behavior.
Just my 5c worth: We were so badly hit here, that I have spent the past two weeks really going through our site. Totally white hat, blah, blah. Anyway, the only two factors that seem to be constant are:
About 70% of pages that link to us have dropped PR. Although this wasn't enough to knock back our toolbar PR, our G directory PR has dropped. There does seem to be a magic PR threshold in the upper-fives/lower-sixes, where sites suddenly start to appear in the top 5 pages after having been nowhere, so perhaps this PR change in backlinks was enough to push many of us beyond this threshold?
In the areas I monitor, sites that remained totally unaffected generally had a low text to image ratio (more images than text) on their main index page. Although many such sites are stuffed with keywords (html comments, alts body, footer, etc) they kept their positions regardless.
On a lighter note, I would like to say a big thank you to reseller, theBear, 2by4 and many others. You guys have made me laugh a lot during this really scary period, which it quite an achievement.
Good luck to everyone for Friday!
Yes, that's the first thing we saw too, pre jagger though, before the bigger drops, some early tweaks. That hasn't changed a great deal though I haven't checked the sites that are currently ranking because it's getting boring, I'm waiting until the last phase is rolled out.
Sites that have remained unaffected have very high trust rank, even though some like to debate about its existence so maybe I shouldn't use that term? Whatever you want to call it, they have a lot of that. No drop.
*update
also noticing the same results on these datacenters...
