Don't need a botnet to do what Archlord did, even though its been explained as a website glitch and not an active effort to proxy or bot the vote.
All you need is some know how in setting up a slave machine, writing a quality script to loop, access to a Proxy Server, and know how to mask an IP and generate a large enough range that no IP value gets reused in a 24 hour cycle.
The defacto decision was that we were going to take the high road as a community and not game the system to ensure PS2 would win. I concur with that decision, and refrained from unleashing a realistically probable stream of macro'd votes.
