Bot problem

[Firefly 35]

There appear to be bots throughout the forums over the past few weeks or so.  Hoping the admins are working on a fix for this.

As a matter of fact, there are bots all over EVERY site. They perform a number of missions like cataloguing a site, data-mining, evaluating fitness for any purpose the bot user may have and even defend against malware and malicious bots. They are like the numerous backteria and other microbes that flit around living bodies. If Howard Hughes every learned how many germs were already inside his body he'd have jumped out the window. If your body was microbe-free you could not live. If the Internet was bot-free, it would go down

Now, what method did you use to find the bots all over DD?

Mars.inDiapers and MegaChar.  Sometimes bots will hijack an account that hasn't been used recently which I think might be the case here.  Kik users have reported this happens a lot on kik.  On DD, at least, MegaChar, for example, has always been against Furaffinity and now suddenly wants to take on an ambitious archiving project on FA?  Doesn't make sense.

In about 2017 DD got hijacjed by some malbot having to do with creepto currency

I am getting that when I use the main forum page to access other forums but not when I go from my profile page to posts in any any of the forums nor in any activity in the club

Now Firefly, thats not true. Dont say shit about me without asking me. I have been for FA but not during when they began to target babyfurs but I also remember that  the bad crap I got from them like what you are doing here.

I really liked you too.Types with a open mind or so I thought. My archiving project is complete anyways.
