From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  botwar
       
           The epic struggle of {bots} vying for dominance.
       
          Botwars are generally (and quite inappropriately) carried out
          on {talk} systems, typically {IRC}, where botwar crossfire


          (such as {pingflood}ing) absorbs scarce server resources and
          obstructs human conversation.
       
          The wisdom of experience indicates that {Core Wars}, not
          {talk} systems, are the appropriate venue for aggressive bots
          and their {botmasters}.
       
          Compare {penis war}.
