Nice to meet you! Welcome here and on STS. :) I am a longtime member of STS too.

Welcome to the forum @TomasSmith! I've been looking for a couple PVs and K&Ms for years. Would you be open to selling at all?
I like turtles.

Good eye. Reading a little more carefully I'm inclined to agree with you.

There is an account on STS too. Maybe I underestimate AI but I have a hard time thinking it could maneuver to both sites but leave DTF out for example.

Anyway, welcome again TomasSmith!

Could indeed be AI. Has the STS account posted there yet?

@TomasSmith are you an AI account? Or are you using AI to generate your posts?

Interesting... looking at the account info on STS they joined 8/11/23 the birthdate is 1/1/1990. To answer your question though so far they have posted 3 times. I saw him there first somewhere but don't remember what topic, then saw them here and welcomed them. I'm not sure what topics they have posted in yet but I will look into it (around my work schedule).

Ah, I was afraid to engage with this conversation at first in case they were an actual person since I didn't want to come off as rude, but I think it deserves mentioning that looking back through the previous greeting messages there is a weirdly specific detail here that seems to have been copied from an actual person's greeting--specifically they say they have "around 150,000!" PV figures.  This new one is either a bot or an extraordinary coincidence.  I have a feeling this might literally just be a scramble of everyone else's hellos...  Also does that mean we should stop engaging with this conversation here? @animaltoyforum

Thanks. Yes, I'm now convinced this is either a bot/AI account or someone using ai to spam us. They do have a link to a store in their signature. So, I'm going to delete this member and their posts now.

I very nearly welcomed them to the forum but found the introduction suspicious. I feel like I'm decent at spotting AI accounts but the way it went on specifically about PV and K&M figures almost had me fooled. They're getting harder and harder to spot.

PV and K&M are both hard to find, very valued companies on this forum. Stating that he has a (albeit unbelievably) large collection of them is almost guaranteed to stir up engagement with the post.

I'm used to AI being more vague I guess.
