Salmonbots Wee!
Reference this post here: http://buttercupsmiles.livejournal.com/43706.html

and this community here: http://community.livejournal.com/themissinghat

On to the logs (I think I might just start combining them)!

TyrannicalSalmon

[16:45] TyrannicalSalmon: Hi.
[16:47] Angelle321: I'm not actually sending you messages out of nowhere, though I bet it looks like it.
[16:47] TyrannicalSalmon: Who is this?
[16:48] Angelle321: did you just update your LJ? I know it looks like tyrranicalsalmon is sending you messages but it's just a stupid bot that matches up two people who just updated
[16:48] Angelle321: I think
[16:48] TyrannicalSalmon: Yes...
[16:49] TyrannicalSalmon: I did update my LJ but how did you get my screen name?
[16:50] Angelle321: I didn't. you're seeing my screen name as this salmon one, as I am for you. but neither of us actually has the other's screen name. trust me, it's nothing to worry about.

NoxiousSalmon

[08:39] NoxiousSalmon: who are you
[08:41] Angelle321: I didn't message you.
[08:41] Angelle321: google this screen name or TyrannicalSalmon
[08:41] Angelle321: that will clear it up
[08:41] NoxiousSalmon: i did, thank you.
[08:41] Angelle321: welcome
[08:42] Angelle321: did that help?
[08:42] NoxiousSalmon: yes
[08:42] Angelle321: fabulous. have a great day!

RemarkableSalmon

09:22] RemarkableSalmon: umm....do I know you?
[09:23] Angelle321: I didn't message you. Fear not. google this screen name.
[09:25] Angelle321: did you?
[09:25] Angelle321: it's a bot

RadiantSalmon

[16:22] RadiantSalmon: Hi.
[16:22] Angelle321: yay! a salmonbot!
[16:23] Angelle321: hello?

ExtraSalmon

[19:25] ExtraSalmon: In homage to that which came before us: I say, old bean, have you seen my hat?
[19:26] Angelle321: Yay!
[19:26] ExtraSalmon: I am currently away from the computer.
[19:26] Angelle321: Well when you come back to it rejoice! You've been salmoned!
[19:26] ExtraSalmon: who's this?
[19:26] Angelle321: google salmon bot
[19:26] Angelle321: I didn't mesage you, I swear
[19:28] Angelle321: If you googled it, you probably feel better now

SweetenedSalmon

[19:34] SweetenedSalmon: Get to the chopper!
[19:34] Angelle321: yay! salmon!
[19:35] Angelle321: and a new salmon at that
[19:35] *** Error while sending IM: This user is currently not logged on

UnlawfulSalmon

[20:56] UnlawfulSalmon: The factorial of 42 is 1405006117752879898543142606244511569936384000000000.
[20:56] Angelle321: yay!
[20:57] UnlawfulSalmon: Thank you?
[20:57] Angelle321: we got salmon-botted!
[20:57] Angelle321: google it
[20:57] UnlawfulSalmon: And who is we?
[20:57] Angelle321: you and I, I would imagine
[20:57] UnlawfulSalmon: Ah
[20:57] UnlawfulSalmon: And who is you?
[20:57] Angelle321: not unlawfulsalmon, as it would appear
[20:58] Angelle321: seriously, google it
[20:58] UnlawfulSalmon: I would if I want working on a paper
[20:58] Angelle321: what are you doing updating your LJ while working on a paper. slacker.
[20:58] UnlawfulSalmon: I updated my LJ before my paper, about my paper thank you very much :P
[20:59] Angelle321: ah. well that's how it works, btw. two people who both recently updated their LJs will get messaged by some sort of Salmon. I never see your sn, you never see mine. I'm actually angelle321, not any sort of salmon
[21:00] UnlawfulSalmon: Okay, that still doesn't help me in knowing who you are.
[21:00] Angelle321: well no. but I didn't message you. so I didn't think you would really be interested in who I am
[21:00] Angelle321: we both just got hit with a bot
[21:01] UnlawfulSalmon: I haven't been on this AIM name in a while so I always forget what sites it's on, I just get confused when people I don't know message me
[21:01] Angelle321: makes sense. I didn't. the bot did. when you're done papering, you should look it up. there are LJ communities devoted to salmon bot chat logs
[21:02] UnlawfulSalmon: What is a salmon bot?
[21:02] Angelle321: it's a bot that sends messages to two onconnected people who both recently updated their LJs
[21:03] UnlawfulSalmon: Ah
[21:03] Angelle321: *unconnected
[21:03] UnlawfulSalmon: ahh
[21:03] Angelle321: I post mine in my own chat log journal
[21:04] UnlawfulSalmon: Yeah, I rarely update my LJ anymore
[21:04] Angelle321: well, I'll let you get back to your paper now and not bug you. g'night!
[21:04] UnlawfulSalmon: G'night, nice talking to you


Lately I've gotten other bots that show up after a journal post but don't have any salmon in the name. The Dobernala78 bot was one of them. Here's another I got last night while I was sleeping.

AbortGhettoBaby: dear crushedglass, legomymalfoy is going to blow up the turkish parliament and kill abdullah gul the president of turkey for the liberation of her fellow pornography traffickers

AbortGhettoBaby: why destroy al qaeda when the biggest terror threat in america is the synagogue down the street?

Lol. That's just so bizarre. I realized that it did the same with me only after I read about it. I had just ranted rather angrily on something going on in the area and well, here we are. So I appreciate that you have a sweet temperament and told me about it.

Thank you so much for explaining this ^-^

I kept getting IM's from ConcurrentSalmon. Now I feel kind of bad, since I was yelling at the person on the other end. I thought they were just being annoying O.o

hey I just googled the salmon thing and came to this page. I'm still wicked confused. What or who is that salmon person?

[info]crushedglass
2008-06-02 09:41 pm UTC (link)
It's an automated bot that matches up two people on aim who have recently updated their LJs. Neither person sees the other person's real screen name. Each only sees the other person as the bot name.

Do you mean "salmon"? Or did you literally mean "bot"? Because I meant that it is a bot, not that it said "bot" in the name.

I've been hit with LogicalSalmon and RegulatedSalmon since Sunday, but the odd thing is that I haven't updated my Livejournal in quite some time. I rarely use the site anymore.

Plus, I asked the other person when talking through RegulatedSalmon about livejournal and they said they've never had one... or a xanga, since that is what I primarily use.

How strange! Is the salmon bot spreading?! haha

Interesting! Maybe it is spreading. Wonder what it would do to connect you then. Was there anything else you had just done that it might have used?

okay i see you know about these things,
so i was wondering if there was a way to track these bots,
like if you add one to your buddy list, would you see if they come online or not?

I haven't tried this so I don't know. Maybe it would be good for an experiment. Let me know what you find if you decide to do it!

I ran into them once or twice when they were the fairly harmless and somewhat amusing hat version. Wonder if the community/individuals felt they just weren't getting the attention they craved, or if they've been taken over by more sociopathic racist trolls.
