Has iweb tool lost a page rank or has it always been a PR5 site? Is this another evidence Google's anti forum crusade?

Google have stopped 'some' sites from passing PR, this has impacted across many other sites that relied on networks of site wide traded links. At least that is how it appears to lil ole me

IWT was PR6 site some days ago, it is really strange.

OWG,
Yes, you theory makes perfect sense. I think G is also targeting forums.... all the sub pages of iWT has gone PR0 , same for sub pages of this site which used to be PR4, all with no PR now

I guess you also know about blogs. In case you dont know about it , SeoPedia: The Internet Marketing & SEO Blog by Cristian Mezei has also went down with the PR from 6 to 5. I read that some users also complain about losing PR and SERPs position for blogs.

Is this change affecting blogs also ?

Read OWG's comment above. Google has blocked some very highly ranked site from passing PR to other site for example phpBB • Creating Communities Worldwide so sites that rely on this kind of links for their ranking will naturally shed some PR points

Yeah have noticed that does anyone know what sites have been banned from passing PR ? suppose they wouldnt otherwise it would be too easy lol

This is EXACTLY what I have been saying about us not knowing which sites are and are not passing PR.
