I was just messing around with GameSpy and managed to get SHOGO detected and running a multiplayer game, however, no one was there to play with. Does anyone still play this multiplayer?

The last time I played it multiplayer was at least 3 years ago now... at that time there was still a small group of players around... I don't have gamespy installed right now, but if we can convince a few others around here that the thing to do is play some shogo mp, i'll be happy to install it again

You can set up a TCP/IP game, make sure the port is open through your router, give your friends your IP address and they can connect to you, no extra software needed.
