[/delurk] Greetings.
I'd say this is because it's the top in alphabetical order. Making it so that the first post can't be made in Armory might, just might, reduce the amount of spam bots. This would only affect the bots attacking the forum in alphabetical order, though.
My friend has a bot problem in his forum as well. He is able to put up such a difficult bot filteration system (image with text) that it's difficult even for a real person to figure it out. I don't know about Invision Boards, though.

Also, out of my own perverted sense of curiosity: Why is only the Armory targeted?
