my msn rank has dropped sharply

hi there,
For 10 years now I have ranked in the top 4 sites for my niche web site, and normally #1. Two days ago I could not find my site in the first 20 pages! Yesterday I spoke to my friend in Houston he did a search and I was still #1. Today both of us searched again, and I was not to be found. I have made no changes in a few weeks, however last week my server went down for about 6 hours. This said though I have several other websites on the same server that were down and they did not lose their rank. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members.

MSN has been known to do this kind of stuff before..I've had site's in top positions that have dropped..then like a week later - they're back. as for the exact reason why, I'm not sure..I'd still like to know that myself! -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members.

This happened to me in fact, however it reappeared after about a week. I was #1 for one of my phrases. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Hang tight for two to three weeks. I had a website missing for three weeks in MSN and then all of a sudden it came back. I did not want to mess with its code because the Google position was not changing. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

I was chewing my nails up to my knuckles, and pulling my hairs out. BY the way thanks for the info that I am not the only one to have this happen -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
