AC-Inter
#1
AC-Inter and the acinter bot have been serving AssaultCube and it's players for over 2 years now. Over that period of time we have been expanding and updating daily to help bring inter/clan match requests directly to you, whenever and wherever you may be!

That included the acinter bot IRC service that notified over 30 IRC channels of match requests and games that were organized by either clans or individuals. We averaged over 330 requests a month during the peak of competition after the closure of Hi-Skills. At one point we even had to create another acinter bot named, "acinter1" just to accommodate for the overflow in demand.

We also provided a service where our website would also host a list of the most recent requests, streamed live to our website. There was also a full list of all private match servers and their connects plus a link to join the servers directly from your browser. We maintained an up to date list of most popular servers on IRC through our acinter bot and were viewable through the use of the $servers command.

AC-Inter also took inter/clan match organization to the next level when we hosted our own servers with the ability to send match requests directly from inside the server to IRC to notify others.

The AC-Inter staff have worked hard to provide the best service and experience possible to it’s users and are glad to have been serving AssaultCube for over 2 years now. We have been fighting to maintain some competition in this game in hopes to hold onto many of the great players who helped shape and maintain a competitive scene and skill level in the game.

AC-Inter has worked along side many other events and projects in Assaultcube as well. One of them being the ACWC and many of its matches. AC-Inter advertised many of the live match times. We also worked along side #ACTV in advertising live gameplay and tournament streamings, sharing match info and links to Gibstick's and SBK's streaming channels.

But, over the past 6 months, there has been a drastic decline in the competitive nature of AssaultCube which could be based on a number of factors. Our own info alone shows us that there has been a 90% decline in the amount of match requests since last year. There was a 76% loss of active channels who shared the use of the acinter bot. This was mostly due to clan inactivity, resulting in the closure of many clans and channels. The daily active users have decreased to less than 10% of its numbers from a year ago.

At this time, AC-Inter is currently weighing its options. With the decrease in numbers, active users, active channels and feedback, it has been decided that the future of AC-Inter will rest in the hands of the community.

I have released a poll asking to simply select your opinion of whether or not AC-Inter and it's staff should continue hosting the acinter bot, or has AC finally lost the demand it once had for such a feature as the acinter bot and are we just wasting our time hosting the bot?

Your feedback is sincerely important to us. If you support this project, please leave some feedback or a comment or even a suggestion to improve the project.

Will we share the same fate as Hi-Skills? Your opinion can make a difference!
