Bots triggering lots of errors

Sometimes 4 errors per day, some times 100.    All that I have checked were triggered by bots, and usually very old threads.  Always "guest"

Noticed it long time ago when I upgraded to 2.1 versions.  If this does not indicate a 'problem', I will continue to ignore it.

I don't think that's a complete error message.
What is the actual error?

How you can help SMF

24 errors in 36 hours. 
I had not been paying a lot of attention until today, but this batch of errors is related to posts more than 20 years old, possibly different forum software at that time.  Forum started 2001, I took over 2019 so do not know the history.

Forum appears to be operating completely normal.

Mods are:
  • Thumbnail Topic Mod 4.2
  • SMF 2.1.4 Update 1.0
  • Simple Audio Video Embedder 6.0.6
  • Image for Anti-Spam Verification Questions 1.2
  • Google Analytics Code 1.6

You are all  SO helpful.  1000x more helpful than software that I PAY for !
