i think you've over rated the epic'ness of the fail,
if he was trying to stop all cheats/unfair play on every server everywhere no matter what map/mission from the moment he released Dooacs till today, then yes i can see that he has failed (not an epic fail though)
if he was trying to stop the google kids, those with no scripting knowledge and no wish to learn, then he has had blinding success at protecting the servers that run his AC script.
lil kid googles cheats, finds that one, DL's it, WOW it works, then hits a Dooacs protected server where it doesn't work, cheat = FAIL
in the fight of cheat V's anti-cheat it is an ongoing war that will never end, you start life at one extreme either hating or loving your extreme view of the other end of the balance and as time goes on you realise that it will never end, 1 month the AC is winning, the next the AC is losing.
1 team comes up with a detection or new cheat, then it is beaten.
the see saw of life
just play
