Thank JohnMu, I guess what I was talking about as far as a penalty is
the search engines suddenly seeing duplicate content and deindexing
us.

Unfortunately I have well over 30,000 pages on this site so doing a
301 redirect on all of them would take way too long.

Since I've switched the urls back to dynamic we've lost all rankings
in yahoo, I kind of thought it would take a little longer than 12
hours lol. Hopefully the se's can all figure it out quickly because
until then there goes my income. I wish there was some way to tell
google and yahoo about these kinds of changes from the webmaster tools
so we wouldn't have to wait 6 months for them to naturally figure it
out.

I hope I did the right thing here.
