Forum lost all of its PR????

I just noticed today that my forum lost its PR... All of my other stuff stayed the same, but for some reason it went form PR3 to PR0. Anyone have an idea on how this would happen....

Not sure exactly, but I do know you have a bunch of forum homepages due to the way good sees it. You have xhttp://ohiostatepoker.com/forums/index.php?
xhttp://www.ohiostatepoker.com/forums/index.php?
and then both with all the SID's attached...that hurts you, but I can't see it going to a 0 unless they see it as a huge amount of Dup Content.

You will need one of the guru's on this one...

You've got a dozen or more duplicate pages linked from various places. It might be for some other reason, but that sure is an invitation to problems.

May you give an example bacause I don't quite get what you mean PPP...

Actually I have to say I'm lost in this case. I had a torough look at Justin's forum and couldn't find antyhing that would justify such penalty. Not only is the PR gone but the whole forum site seems to have disappeared from G's index -> site:http://ohiostatepoker.com/forums/. No idea what has caused that but this looks serious to me

* Maybe, just maybe, one of the links in users signaturs is a so called 'bad link', but well... this is just MAYBE and personally I've never liked the concept that G would penalize you so severely for one bad link...

My Google traffic is up but my site went to "0PR" on all but a couple pages, many were PR4 before. I had another site that was PR0 and is now PR6 and it’s a lame 1 page site.
I can't figure it out but sick of worry about it, I have traffic so if I don't have a little Google PR bar I don't care any longer.
Also I have some sites with 200+ links which were showing for years and one of them is showing 0 now.>>

I believe you can correct all you issues with a simple 301 redirect.
