In case anyone hasn't seen acmipark and would like to you will have to head to acmi soon. I don't have an exact shutdown date, and will post it here when I get it.
It's going offline due to compatibility issues with new hardware, selecparks members now being spread all over the world, and (I gather) rather steep Renderware license costs for a non commercial project put on public display...
I haven't been able to recompile it for years thanks to using Renderware... [:(]

Why were they using Renderware for a non-commercial project? o_O
That decision had been made before I joined the project. A couple of programmers had experience with it.
Renderware caused the project thousands of issues- both legal and technical. I've been asked not to discuss them I'm afraid.
However if anyone would like to ask stuff about acmipark this thread seems like a good place.
I just found a lengthy rant about acmipark by Helen Stuckey (boss of the acmi games lab) on firstmonday http://www.firstmonday.org/issues/special11_2b/stuckey/index.html
As usual she's saying some nice stuff about my sound programming [;)]
