It’s been almost a year and PageRank, named after one of the founders, many thought would be forgotten or dropped. And many would like to see it forgotten. Nonetheless, the toolbar pagerank was updated today.
Yes, Google is one for sending mixed messages.
Seeing as talk about "site page rank’ here in the forums never quieted down despite the toolbar not being updated for ~10 months, I imagine it would take years for it to “go away” after it went away.
I suppose it takes Larry Page about a year to allocate meaningless numbers between 0 and 10 to all those web pages. It might go away if something happens to Larry. Can’t have a Larry Page Rank without a Larry Page.

Please keep the discussion here on the general issues of PR and whether or not it has had its day. Do not post here simply to say whether your PR went up or down. Any such posts will be removed as fluff.

Being named after Larry Page, I wonder if there is a little ego thing with not getting rid of it. I personally wouldn’t have a problem with it if they had the resources to police it a little better.
Thanks everyone
This is old news by now
