We’re not about to remove our text links though until Google steps up and explains their reasoning behind the drop. We got hit with a 2 point drop as well, from 6 to 4.

I actually experienced a jump from PR 0 to PR 3 on my website (which was even encountering - and is still encountering - some server load issues which we were in the process of resolving). I was so shocked by the PageRank MEGA JUMP which appears to have happened overnight and it made me do a little research which led me to finding out about this PageRank incidence (and landing on this page and several others). Didn't anybody else experience this increase? Seems the change favored we the "small" guys :D BTW: I dont have ANY paid links on the site and barely any incoming links. Just aggregating blogs from my country. I keep hearing of pagerank drops that happened in the last few days but nobody ever mentioned a pagerank increase.

You mentioned, "website traffic" hasn't been effected, does that include Google search traffic? I assume it does but just want to make sure. Not that I am anybody who's opinion means much but it would seem to me that the more likely cause of the various sites dropping Toolbar PageRank may be due to Google adjusting the scale used to convert internal PageRank to Toolbar PageRank. If that is the case and the conversion is logarithmic then it would stand to reason that higher toolbar PageRank sites would appear to be hit "harder" simply because they are higher up the logarithmic curve.
