Really? I saw the reverse. Seems like my sites were penalized in the past and it was lifted with this new algorithm.
I think maybe they are taking a better look at PBNs. I have a number of sites that link to each other and don't have many backlinks, but my sites are decent quality I think. So maybe they were automatically flagged as PBNs before and now the new algorithm is a bit more sophisticated?
There shouldn't be anything inherently penalizing about same webmaster sites interlinking. I mean if GFY decided to separate their mainstream discussion board into a different site, and the two linked to each other, it would be entirely valid because each site would be of interest potentially to viewers of either site.
