In a few years from now, perhaps "alot" will be acceptable. There are many words with multiple spellings.
"Third" used to be "thrid."
Hell, "gay" used to mean happy: doesn't really mean that anymore.
If you've tried reading Beowulf before, you'll see how much English has evolved.

Yes, the English language is constantly changing, but I have yet to see any reliable dictionary state that "anyways" is accepted as a standard word.
When you think about what the word means in the context it is used, making it plural makes no sense.
