My new sites all got slapped and my older one hung around but was usurped by really old trusted domains.

Twan's directories, and t-blogger have some nice trust rank in the adult world. I caught freeones and the rest of the lot also climb back up in areas. . . old trusted domains got the lean it seems. I'm going to let this run its course for another week and then decide. . .

Let me know if your seeing anything similar.
