[...] a 2007 series of articles in the Alphaville Herald called “The Great Bot Hunt,” part 1, part 2, and part 3. I went hunting and found some bots myself, but at that time I didn’t have a blog [...]

LL would like the community to chime in? Where did anyone ever say the liked land bots swooping land? I haven’t seen that anywhere, quite the opposite actually. I have personally ARed at least 5 bots, and 2 bot owners.

2 owners of the top bots in SL are: Skye Whitcroft, and Elanthius Flagstaff. Their landbot group is named Ninjaland, such a clever name!

Another off bot (Not sure what he is up to) I have seen pop onto some parcels across the grid is “Jim Kayo,” he only stays in a sim for about 5 seconds until moving onto the next one.

Currently in the Banda sim is a bot named “RowdyRandy Petrov”
Him, and a lot of them, are in a hidden group with the title “Ruth” above them. Witty, eh?

Also I am seeing “Ich Bade” in Mirtoon under the ground.
And “Han Carter” in Aswan
Kyle Munro in Jergens
Reb Pera in Zolezzi
Jada Auer in Margery

These names were only from a quick (Less than 5 minute) scan of the grid. Just look at the void sims, if you see a person in the center, go look, 99% chance it is a bot.

This is ridiculous, and I am disgusted that LL has not taken any action to thwart this. Instead they state “we are not the police” (Torley quote from Linden answers…. remember that? The one place the actually talked to us at.). If they want us to police ourselves, give us the tools to ban these people from the grid.

Lets not even talk about the HOURLY grid attacks (replicating objects) that start in Murray and spread to surrounding sims!
