  WOW!! What a discovery within a week!!

  It's a brain bot.

  On a different vein Simon, I asked ChatGPT to come up with an anagram of MaddoxChase. I didn't mention WGT at all and it came up with 'axe chads mod', how weird is that!

  Another weird thing is that it started as Maddoxm2i3 but somehow changed to MaddoxChase. Since it's a bot, I highly doubt it contacted CS and politely requested a username change. LOL So how did that happen? Weird, isn't it?

  I don't believe there's anything sinister going on there Simon, that initial name is what appears in its profile page URL. I've seen it a few times before so I wonder if it is caused by the sheer number of usernames there are now, but I don't know.

  Perhaps, this bot was created by WGT. I noticed that it posted a week after "joining". Most bots post the same day.

  True. Mine is the same way, actually. In the URL, it appears as simontya8u, but that’s never ever used in activity or any posts, always my actual username. But that’s not the case for the bot here.

  Honestly, Steff, I thought the same thing, but the problem is... I keep asking myself... what would the company even gain from making a bot like this?? I just don’t see the point personally.

  Possibly, but I already have over 140 on my list and there must be loads more, do we need new ones?

  I don't think it's specifically a bot thing, if I find a 'normal' user where that occurs I will post it, but I'm going to stick to my current theory.
