I doubt if it was any comment. If it was your links posted on the board that got you shit canned (big "if", I'm not saying it is, I'm saying it is a possibility) it would be a numbers thing. Their ranking software will assume that a small number of links from boards, blogs, etc. may be genuine recommendations, so ++ your ranking. A larger number get ignored as probable spam or friends trying to help out. But go over a certain number of links on the boards/blogs/etc. and the software decides you are a black hat link spammer and hammers your rating right down. Does not have to be links posted on those days, the links may have been up a while, but their spider hit this board over those two days, counted the links it found, and that may have put you over the limit.
If your stats program for this board identifies Googlebot hits (by IP) then look see if it was sniffing around the board just before LOR got demoted.
