me: is this your first fishy bot, coho bot.

froggishcoho: DOES NOT COMPUTE

me: must be then. I didn't message you, though I'm sure you think I did.

froggishcoho: dont make me call aol
weirdo

me: I'm not! I didn't message you. it's a bot. go ahead and google it.

froggishcoho: bot?>?????

piouscoho: What is your definition of love?

10:16 AM
me: Hello fishy bot!

10:17 AM
piouscoho: who art thou?

10:18 AM
me: angelle321, crushedglass.net, a photographer, a writer
who are you?

10:19 AM
piouscoho: matt.... how do we know each other?

me: we don't. the fishy bot matched us up because you updated something that triggered it. I'm angelle321. not whatever-coho
10:20 AM nice to meet you

piouscoho: because I updated something?

me: yep. often it's triggered by a livejournal update
but I've heard people get them with other things too. It's always been LJ for me though

piouscoho: what? tavern update. i believe thou art mistaken

10:21 AM
me: google "salmonbot". might explain a little better
l i v e j o u r n a l
not tavern

piouscoho: what operating system dost thou think i am running

me: how would I know?

10:22 AM
piouscoho: bingo. run along now, dont bother me again ye fairy

me: I'm not a bot. I'm just the one the bot matched you up with. I didn't message you. :)

10:23 AM
piouscoho: well aware, and I am asking ye to ask "the knight" to match ye up with someone else
oh, and stop talking like a flibbertigibbet, ye sound ridiculous.
good bye ye fairy

10:24 AM
me: I didn't ask anything. I just got the message out of nowhere, just like you did. I didn't bring this one on! I'm not, btw, that's the bot too. I can explain pretty quickly if you message a n g e l l e 3 2 1 . Then we can both be on our merry way



I guess he decided not to take me up on that. Must have been his first time. :)

It amuses me how some words are filtered and some aren't. Seems to change by the day too. Sometimes I can talk to someone freely, and sometimes there are filtered words. Like "bot" apparently, and "livejournal."


UPDATE:

10:29 AM
piouscoho: Maybe you shouldn't explain things right away. It just seems to confuse them more.
There are over 200 ways to say 'Who are you?', but all of them make you look foolish.

10:30 AM
me: I see now that it's f i l t e r i n g certain words. Apparently I'm not allowed to say b o t or l i v e j o u r n a l.

[15:40] HYIL HYTLER: your private friends-only posts have been stolen: http://crushedglass dot on dot nimp dot org/?u=r4l


Apparently, not a good idea to click any links that look like this. It will fuck your shit up. Or so I've read. So hopefully this post can help any googlers out there who find it!

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

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?


Other bots:

AppealingCoho
RimmingCoho
MatchedCoho
BailoutCoho
MudslimeCoho
TerdTasterSalmon
TerdTasterTrout
InfuriatedCoho
SoreCoho
EmotionlessCoho
FarReachingCoho
PiousCoho
FroggishCoho

( anyone have any ideas on this? )


EDIT: I think it's something like this? An aim bot of some sort. I am choosing not to worry about it.
