    A potentially stupid question since I know next to nothing about the creation of bots, but why would it be created for a college hockey website, and does someone monitor the bot to make sure it’s even working? Or are there thousands of these things and it doesn’t matter if the majority don’t work?

        It's probably based more on the vBulletin software used to power the forum. There's likely vulnerabilities that allow the creation/use of bots, and then any data that can be harvested is farmed.

        So they're not targeting a niche college hockey forum, they're just targeting people who use vBulletin version whatever.

                    So i had two garage doors replaced yesterday. They look great! However the dude smashed into the corner of a door overhang and mangle the roofing for it. It doesn't look too too bad, but I hope the company doesn't give me a hard time about repairing it.

                        Dutch elm disease makes me angry. Three good trees, gone. Dropped all the leaves the first week of July.
                        And remember, I'm in ND, so this is where Handy quips in with a "just one tree left in the state".

                        I can't sell the wood as firewood either (spread the disease).
                        And I'm wide open to a SE wind blizzard now.

                          My wife wants me to build a bench and storage solution for a small closet in our main entry space. I’m not looking forward to all of the non-right angles I’m about to find there.

                          And I came home from (ugh) Hayward, WI, to find that my dishwasher isn’t draining. I just tore that thing apart after attending YouTube U for dishwashers, and my findings have now made me newly dedicated to running a monthly dishwasher cleaning solution.

                            I feel that. My house built in 1928 and there's nary a right angle to be found.

                              There are no right angles in any house in New England built before about 1990. Until 1960 it was the tech; after it was the corruption.

                                Well, plus the century of settling and wood expanding and shrinking.
