Did I spot a bot?
Hoping the IT guys here would know for sure. The revived old thread, etc...go to the last page here. Post at the top...a bot?

I pointed out how many "suspicious" extra users (bots) were hitting this site a couple of times ... from 1-2 thousand typically .... ever since the site was non-functional several weeks back (lots of data base errors too) .... those haven't been back. Methinks IT might have taken my suggestion and blocked some IP traffic from Russia & China (prudent imo), but it could be coinkydinky
 .This user's post history appears suspicious .... might be a real person, might be a bot. Might be Terry  Not my job mon .... |

looks likely to be a bot to me, but can't say for sure.

It's a good thing forums are separate from secure business side.

8 post responses read like a friendly, cheerful bot whose purpose is to revive old threads. I wonder what P-car "it" drives?

Seen it a while ago, I’m sure they were training ChatGPT to read threads and provide answers…
