An ex-AceUplink staff user, "Radio F Software", claimed he could out-do AceUplink by making his own website. The first version of "Radio F Software Headquarters (RFSHQ)" launched in February 2004 as a place to host the "RFS AI Pack" mod that expanded the limits of the game to allow 6 AI bots per team instead of the stock 3, and 30 AI teams instead of the stock 15. During this time, Radio F Software also ripped his tutorials and lessons from AceUplink and hosted them on RFSHQ instead. Using his notoriety in the forums, traffic was successfully diverted to RFSHQ.
Originally, RFSHQ was meant to make fun of AceUplink. Early articles on the website's "TXT Dumpster" and "Photophile" content sections reveal "frauds" done by the AceUplink staff. By May 2004 RFSHQ had shifted from a Robot Arena 2 website to an original comedy content website while still keeping the old files on the servers. RFSHQ added a staff comprised entirely of banned or angry AceUplink users and launched an attempt to demolish AceUplink by abusing holes in their administrative policies. AceUplink tanked in 2005, not because of RFSHQ's attacks, but because of hosting contract expiration.
