Hmmm, a bizarre thing to be doing by someone for some weird reason

We've been thinking the same, why would the number of people viewing the forum suddenly jump from 100 to 1,000 or more, it was 2,800+ earlier today, and what are they up to? Well the full message from the tech team seems to suggest that they're not actually up to anything malicious, it's just automated bot software which has got stuck in a loop, causing us to have an occasional overload. Welcome to the new world where bots don't actually have to mean any harm to cause it.

How very strange!

I've had no problems at all and the Mac has just logged in as normal every morning. No slowing down at all.

Hope you get it sorted.

Strange indeed. I haven't had any problems either, but other people have.

This sort of problem is always the most difficult, because if you haven't got the same problem, there are hundreds of possible issues, but there's no way to check if you've fixed it. Very frustrating.
