O.K., I already posted these instructions in one topic, but I wanted to make it more visible by this one.
Even GameSpy is not supporting W4M online server anymore, there is still a nice alternative solution for all players to keep playing the game as they did before.
It's pretty easy to make it if you just fallow these few simple steps:
Program that you need for that is called Tunngle. It kinda makes LAN (local network) to act like regular Internet connection. So, the only difference will be that you go in "Local Network" instead of "Internet" game option. All other stuff are pretty much the same.
So, here are the instructions:
1. Tunngle download.
http://www.tunngle.net/community/files/file/331-tunngle-setup-v4415exe/
(Check if that's still the last version)
2.Create the account at the Tunngle.

3. Accept the terms and fill all that is needed there.
4. Check your mail after you did that so they can activate the account through the link q are displayed. You just need to click at one link inside of that massage.
5. Tunngle installed on the pc.
6. Open Tunngle and add your username and password.
7. On the left side in "search network" get Worms 4 Mayhem and give enter.
8. Click on orange arrow right click config and browse to find worms4mayhem.exe (you can also pick launcher.exe there if you want to).
9. After doing that, you just need to click on that orange arrow whenever you want to open your game.
10. After game is started, chose "Local Network" from game options and you're ready to play!
Advices:
-You can use Tunngle lobby to wait for other players. It will inform you by sounds when someone is joining to the room or typing something there. So, you can do other things on your PC without fear that you will miss anything.
-If there is only 1-3 players in Tunggle lobby, I suggest you to try make a contact with them trough the Tunngle chat and then you can all start the game and meet up there.
-If there is more than 4 players in the Tunngle lobby, it's very possible that some(few) of them already created the game, so you can start W4M immediately and use ingame chat to see if anyone is online or if somebody already created the game(s).
Basically, it's always good to start the game and check if someone is already online, no matter how many people are in Tunngle lobby. That's one of the Tunngle's missing options for now - you can't see who is in the game already and who's not. But I hope developers will make it be possible soon.
See ya.
