Site browser check - what's all that about?

Every time I come to log in I get a message which says

The checking process invariably takes at least 45 seconds. That's frustrating to say the least.
Also this is the only site I have seen such a message/process.

So - what's all that about?

OK - I'm curious. How?

(and as potentially related comment - is the forum software here vbulletin? )

It's installing a piece of mining software for Gibbo's car fund.

Innovative! Entrepreneurial! But if I'm to endorse this I'd need to knw what kind of car...

bot.

Umm, what bot?

Anyway turns out that from my home PC if I go direct to forum here it's quick, but if I go to OCUK retail shop site (I was browsing there) it takes a long time;

Anyway all good just FY.


I actually think another forum I visit may do the same thing just disguise it differently
I learn something new every day or two lately


Cheers all.

OP is from Location: Brisbane, Australia

Yes and IM not the only Aussie on here neither. (Unless I'm Russian of course)

That's just what a bot would say. You're fooling no one.

No -a bot would say "Bite my shiny metal ..."
Rockin' it Bender style.

vlad! clearly a russian bot looking to find out the UK's perspective on the war, joined on Monday as well.

Da tovarisch!

Umm, I mean "G'day cobber old mate whack another shrimp on the barby, crikey!"
