Add to that the fact:
latintv.com/video/
returns an 403 error - forbidden page, then its no wonder your listings have dropped.

Thanks for that heads up, I forgot the rewrite for the people not using www. it is now fixed.
You got 403 because I am working on it and trying to fix the script. Frankly I am not worried about the traffic or google search until I can fix the restricted content display.
Your "auto-forwarding" is what we programmers call a 301 perm redirect and that is what is called for. The site is not at root level and there are several parts to the site in sub directories. Imagine, if you can, trying to entertain a community. You have a space to do blogs, news stories, and video. You might add things later and not want to take down the other functions. This is how it should be done. If you go now you will easily find the link to Latintv blogs and news there on the site in another subdir and same the other way round. I might add a video share community software but I should not have to take my blogs or video on demand sites down from the project just because of that. If I want the new project to be the main project I would use 301 to tell it that. Otherwise they become links from whichever section is the main site. the structure would be like this:
video/ - on demand videos
web/ - blog news
share/ - upload and community sharing
You can choose which one you want to be the main url with the 301. the 301 tells them that this is the main url site. If you look at the sitemap.xml you will see the actual layout I am designing for as I place a .9 for main sites, .8 for sections on the sites and either .5 or .6 if I link any actual pages. Usually I let them find pages and section is fine. Link the parts and you have a broad content services for your community. I have not built out the share community yet.
The fact is I am happy that they killed all the listings. That was restricted content. I agree with what they did. They did wipe out real content from the /web part, but I can get that back when I fix the ondemand script. I am happier knowing what is wrong and now able to fix it than getting the surprise slap with no heads up. When it is back they can get new listings with good content. The fact that they leave the page rank and the stuff in the webmaster tools makes me believe that they want that restricted content off to treat it like a real site. I would have asked them to remove all the stuff they found that was porn - it is spam. I jusy had no idea.
So I am off to do the coding and let you know how it works out.
