Veronica Hohenheim Posted September 27, 2025 Report Posted September 27, 2025 I am not familiar with the world of cyber security or hacking so most things doesnt make sense to me.Like why would bots appear here.There is a notice abt how forums r spammed and only customers are able to post for the time being.I do not think its the same bots who want u to click to link in their bio for OF or job opportuinity.So is someone just mad at this game or why would they be a concern for this website. Dont get me wrong vs has a sizeable following but I wouldnt think it was big enough for someone to target it.

It has been a while, so I don't remember exactly what the bots were spamming, but I think it was mostly comments and threads advertising pills, ointments and the like, and linking to scam/blog sites. I doubt the VS forum was target specifically, the bots were just sent after forums using this particular forum software. 3

I had this same issue when I made my own PHPBB forum a few years ago. Pretty much as soon as it went live I started getting all sorts of wild spam coming in. Mostly medicine advertisements. I've been able to cut back on a LOT of it since them, by blocking IP addresses and enabling much stricter sign-on rules I've known two other friends with micro-scale forums like mine is who had the same results. IDK how the bots find these tiny forums. 3
