In case anyone wonders why there are so little new posts as of lately - I did some changes to the CAPTCHA system (not going into details) and I am 99% sure what we see now is the true traffic. Whatever was happening several weeks/months ago was mostly bots reusing old questions from our forum or posted somewhere else. Sometimes you pointed me to the fact the question was asked in the past, sometimes I was able to trace these question back to their source (but it is time consuming, so I rarely tried). Typically after a week or two OP/bot would add a link to their signature, or answer the thread with "I got this", quoting large part of the text from some earlier post and adding link somewhere in the middle (often obscured by formatting).
Now these bots are gone, at least for some time.

Glad for your extra effort!
