[QUOTE="WTM, post: 5077010, member: 6230"] the bots doesnt work like a human, that is go to a website, browse around put stuff in a cart and then check out. it works like this if i can put it in laymans terms. there are two parts to a website, the front end is what we see when we go to a website and then there is the back end that we dont see, which contains coding that handles the server and data to a website. what a bot is basically is an application, a piece of software, that filters your parameters through the backend of a website. it pings that website thousands of times a second until that parameter comes true then it initiates a purchase by passing the front end checkout. kind of like a thousand people hitting the refresh button. here is the brilliant part, to keep sniffers from detecting them users utilize proxy servers and reloadable debit cards so that it looks like 100 different folks with different ip addresses and account numbers. not only do these aholes scarf up all the product at one wack they also can slow a website down with the pings just like a ddos attack. ill say this again, this is not a pure supply and demand situation, these scumbags are creating artificial supply and demand/scarcity with what they are doing and the fear mongers are feeding it.
