I don't think I ever really had any of my old free sites submitted to you, so I'm sure I'm not one of the people you are talking about, But I made every effort both here on the boards and via email to all the LL owners that might be affected, of exactly what sites I was bringing down last fall, with about 3 weeks advance notice. And then, on that date, yes, I 404ed 'em mainly to my own text-link traffic pages or straight to sponsor tours,you bet. I still have, or had, decent SE traffic that I was trying to take advantage of, since taking those sites down hit my sales (such as they are) pretty hard.
I presume the only LL owners who might have blacklisted me for that (and I don't know of any offhand but there may be some since I hgavent been submitting free sites since last fall) are the ones that don't check their email. 'Cause I made every possible effort to let them know.
Now, as for people who bring their sites down and do 404 redirects without even making an
effort to advise the list owners, hell yeah, blacklist 'em all, I say!
