Bots. Not the good kind. Forum owners are having to pay for bandwidth while AI related bots are combing. When the numbers are in the thousands it costs.
This is what I am told. I am not an IT guy.
Edit: here's the AI blurb,
"Sites are requiring more frequent logins primarily to enhance security against unauthorized access and to mitigate risks from automated bot traffic. Enhanced security measures include shorter session lifespans, stricter cookie policies, and bot detection mechanisms, which often result in users being prompted to re-authenticate more regularly."
