Botters have been multi-botting for ages.

It has nothing to do with multiboxing. Botting is botting.

Multiboxing is defined as controlling more than one account at the same time.
Botting is automating the control of ONE account. You can run multiple bots on one computer, but typically you do not run one bot which runs multiple accounts, because each bot needs to maintain "awareness" of each WoW instance since they typically do not group (due to the nature of grouping/multiboxing getting more attention). Granted, one bot program can have multiple threads, but each thread has a dedicated "brain" to each wow window. We have one brain, dedicated to multiple windows.

They are very much different. Multi-botting is akin to multiple players all playing off of the same physical computer, but each with their own terminal/keyboard/mouse.

Of course, I didn't see the link (nor do I care to), but if it was indeed a botter attempting to multibox bot, then I'm boggled. He'll get banned in short order with that amount of attention being drawn to the group.
In this case they are using multiboxing technology such as keystroke cloners, etc. I guess you could say he set up his multibox team and then added botting technology to it.

I am going to guess some of the botters may try it but will quickly find out it isn't worth it. I guess I was concerned that singleboxers who see these entire groups getting stuck on things, etc, will cloud what they initially think of boxers. This is probably not going to be a huge problem but just wanted to bring awareness.
