This will make them stand out...you can easily scroll down and look for trends.
Nope. In fact I'm seeing quite a lag on the results. Nothing new since July 10th. And as far back as I go, I don't see any forum type links. Sounds like someone did an xrumer run on your site. At one point the SE's did penalize bad neighbourhoods, in today's SEO I'd think that the worst thing a search engine would do is ignore bad links like that. Otherwise as someone pointed out, it would be used to take down the competition.
