This is so foul, google is so f*cking paranoid man.

Ok, so after completely removing linkex directory and hyperlink to it, and also removing absolutely all external links, everything is now back to normal. basically 12 hours later, Im guessing when google crawled my site again google has restored all my positions close to where they were before.
I don't know if it was just an update, or the act of me removing the above that removed my google penalty but mannn, what a huge relief. I am never linking to another site again, its just not worth the risk.. What if that site is good today but flagged tomorrow, WAMNNN there goes 2 years of SEO work down the drain.
