Site temporary delisted from Google

Very unfortunately theblackstallion.com has been delisted temporarily from the Google search results. The reason for this is that the site had been “hacked” and malicious code had been inserted in a way only visible to search engines. This resulted in non-compliance with the google rules for being listed in their index. All the pages have been cleaned up and security has been reestablished. It is sad that these things happen and that we have to suffer the unfair consequences. We are doing everything to be listed again in Google’s index, but in the meantime you can still find the pages on other search engines. The blog had been compromised as well. In order to not help people with bad ideas we will not divulge here what exactly was done. Thanks for visiting our site and a happy new year to all!
