I forwarded the port and I can join the server myself but no one seems to be able to join. I only forwarded one port maybe there was a range of ports I was supposed to forward? I am hosting the server on my computer.

The server is up right now its called TESTING PLEASE TRY TO JOIN.
aos://2796865379

and is a static ip address really necessary?

Yeah, sadly it seems some people just cannot successfully host a server, despite doing everything properly. I too have forwarded to proper ports and can connect locally via aos://16777343 ...it's listed on the Master Server List, but nobody can publically connect. I have no firewall blocking it... I've just given up on it for the time being.

umm yea try removing your firewall and make sure youve doen all of these
1) go to you start menu
2) click on run and then type cmd
3) once in type ipconfig
4) then get your defualt gateway ip adress
5)go into your internet exporer and type in your default gateway ip addres
6) it will ask for username and passwor by defualt username is admin and password is just the word password.
7) once your in go to your port forwarding make the external port 32887 and the internal port 32887
8) for protocal set it to UDP
9) go back to you ipconfig in your command window and get your ip address then type that in to the end of the 192.168.1.1_____ in your port forwarding menu
10) thats it then go to the ace of spades server app and generate a map and select how many players and what its called i think i got it righ thope that helped

i think thats it correct me if i messed up at all
