True, but more players use GameServers and other similar providers. Until Assist, I didn't even know about Vortex.
Vortex could still remain official provider, but GameServers would provide even more PR impact I think.

Not sure if I have ever done an introduction on here, so here it goes.

Edit: Just noticed I put this in the wrong section. Admins, could you please move it to the Introduction board? Thank you and apologies about this.

I began playing computer games back in 2004. My first game and main game between 2004 and 2006/2007 was Americas Army. During that period I was:

-member in USAT (United Sim Army Teams)
-founder and commanding officer of Warriors of Combat (WoC). The unit lasted for about 8 month.
-Mentor at AON (defunct anti-cheat community)
-administrator for CheatBusted (defunct anti-cheat community)
-private admin server at ACi (Anti-Cheat Inc).

Following Americas Army, I worked for about 6 month as a volunteer moderator and game master for the MMORPG 2Moons (Acclaim Games Inc). At 2Moons, I had the pleasure of working with some of the best game developers and producers, including game developer David Perry ( Earthworm Jim, MDK, Messiah, Wild 9 )

For those interested, in real life, I am a musician (pianist). More info about me in real life can be found at avgusteantonov.com

Thanks. What would be even more nice is to remove this shoutbox. It is getting out of hand.....

hmm
How about the aim hacks and such?
If I want to run anti-cheat scripts, since I would own the server, I assume I could do that.

So what is the anticheat situation? Server scripts? Streaming?

The issue of the shoutbox is that it represents the Assist community wrongly because of a few bad apples.
I would rather have a stats page showing players activity in game like the ones Eliz posted than the shoutbox.

Also, the whole home page needs a complete overhaul. To be specific, the home page should show only official news about Assist development, community news (written in an official tone) and a Must have is an About Assist. A player who comes on here has currently no way to know what Assist 2.5 is about.

Well, what can be promoted is AA and the availability of old version AA.
As far as contacting players, I see two methods:

-go on official AA forums and private message all players posting in old AA boards.
-go to battletracker and private message/email players who were playing AA.

There is no problem with posting the same message on different websites, but the thing would be for Assist to be listed on gaming sites as a game/gaming software.

But seriously, the thing that needs to fixed right way is this shoutbox/Assist chat. There is too much spamming, flaming and drama on there.

Opening this thread to discuss and come with ideas on how to get more new players and how to keep those players active:

-advertise the game on gaming sites such as Gaming on Linux, LinuxGames, MMORPG.com, MPOGD and so forth

-contact http://www.bugsgang.com/ and try to combine forces

-keep all the flame wars, spams and all negative discussions out of the shoutbox. That is why we have forums and private messages
