They just reposted several old reviews by Scott, dated May xx, 2022.

I saw it and was initially like "OMG HES BACK" but nope, just a few GPU reviews from 2011 reposted dated in 2022.

Why would the bots do that. It makes no sense and it's outdated tech. >.>

Scraping user posts and presenting them as new "blog" entries is pretty sus too.

It's too bad something couldn't "happen" to the forums to make them and the hits they generate go away forever.
Victory requires no explanation. Defeat allows none.

Right, the next logical step is illicit adverts and pop-ups at this point.

I think it would've been better if Scott and the others would've moved on and just and putting TR to rest instead, this current abomination is a sad state of what was one of the best tech sites on the internet. The current hardware itch when I need it I usually go to gamers nexus youtube for reviews. Definitely some interesting stuff that reminds me of the old tech report doing in depth stuff not many else are ... I mean doing schlieren imaging of gpu cooling solutions.
