WTF is a DU AdBot?
I posted a thread about half an hour ago. It didn't go far, but all of a sudden, advertisements started showing up that were posted by someone or something called DU AdBot.

Is this something new? Have you seen it before? Did I miss some kind of announcement about this?

Most of us contribute to DU and it's our contributions that helped make this a successful site. Whatever this DU AdBot thing is, I instinctively feel it can only hurt DU. And hurt the contributions from us.

2. I didn't even get a notice about my star expiring.
Every year I've been on DU, I always got a contribution reminder. But not this year.

Perhaps DU has gotten "Too big to fail."

3. I've never gotten a notice that my star was expiring -
Because I donate something every quarter during the DU fundraisers.

Try it!
