Darth Vador didn't do the DDoS; it was Drake. I'm not sure how he did it, but I think he just pinged the site over and over. Pseudo's sites have a big bug in it which means that if his database server goes down even for an instant, it takes the rest of his site and takes it down. This bug has been pointed out to him before, but he didn't do anything about it, and likely still hasn't. I should point out that he still blames us for this.
Pseuo is an emotionally manipulative bigot. Simple as. He wants to be treated very well, to the extent that he is pampered, while he, quite frankly, treats everyone he dislikes (which is a large list) like crap. I'll link to a post I made explaining the Frances thing in a reply to the other comment you made, and that should give you a basic idea.
Anyway, I stayed on Fig Hunter for much of my teenage life, and after that experience, I'd warn you to stay away from him. He is unable to run a website or choose people suited to running a website (which in itself isn't a bad thing) and has a bad habit of abandoning or drastically changing sites when he doesn't get women he wants.
Something which may be relevant to you is his disliking of people with Aspergers or Autism, which he thinks just makes you psychopathic. There was a call to unban a person with Aspergers because he had improved since Pseudo last talked to him, and he said "I'd unban him, but he has Aspergers which I don't think is something you just "get over"".
I and most fig hunters don't want to hurt Pseudo. Only two people have attacked Pseudo, one of whom was a troll that was banned ages ago hundreds of times and the other stopped after realising that Pseudo was blaming FH for it. If I am to do anything, it'll be along the lines of having Pseudo face consequences for his actions, or something.

drake here, pitchin' in to that first point. spudo banned myself and several others for negative attitude. one of these was a friend (uuuuuugh) of darth. she made an account on st (and provoked others into doing the same); in retaliation (and in approximation of the actions of the few to the intent of the many, as spudo often does), spudo edited the chat to replace every message with "DUUUH", and taunted us. around this time i logged in with an alt and used a repurposed chat-interfacing app to spam it with messages. underestimating the obscene fragility of spudo's servers, i started to ramp up to as many requests as i was able to perform; this, of course, shut down the site. after realizing that i had actually done it personally (i hadn't been sending nearly as much traffic as i had believed would crash it, so i initially assumed that it was michos' doing), and after being notified by an anonymous informant that spudo was talking faeces about fhers behind our backs, i started to shut down other subdomains of his. it went on for about thirty minutes to an hour, at which point my sleep-deprivation-addled brain finally recognized the concept of "legal consequences" and i stopped.
on the second point, because i don't want to make another post, the guy's a prick. basically all of the Serious Antagonism he has recently (in the broad sense) received has been from me, and he seems absolutely hell-bent on using my sporadic insults to justify his raging kismesis to fighunter entire. i have no idea what your attraction to st is (a cursory glance at your profile registers "vaguely pretentious"), but my honest advice to you would be to GET THE FUCK AWAY RIGHT THIS SECOND. i literally cannot think of a single person who has ever been positively influenced by spudo, and the memeplex that hovers like a fetid musk around that site is hella harmful. imho you should *really* try to avoid absorbing any more of those ideas than is absolutely necessary. what savage said is absolutely correct; the site is a thinly-veiled vehicle for spudo's desires, and spudo's desires only. he could be charitably described as a predator; i would say that his vocal denunciation and categorization of people like that has made it far more easy for him to ignore the little signs that he himself is one of them.
i'm not going to talk about the entire "bigoted" thing, because that much should be patently obvious to anyone in the same plane of existence as him.

I have something else to bring up about the "Get away from him" thing (I should add swear filters).
I go to a youth club, and I showed Pseudo's Transphobic Adventures to a women working there (who I trust with my issues and stuff). It's literally the most shocked a person I have ever seen, really. Anyway, she not only said that I should stay away from Pseudo, but that I should stay away from his FRIENDS (as I assumed people like Scint and whatnot where; honestly I don't know) as well. Yes. I should point out that she also thinks he's faking his social anxiety, and doesn't really know much about him besides his transphobic adventures. So take it with a grain of salt maybe.
He also called us Psychopaths or sociopaths or both (Actually, they are the same thing. Ignore this). Not really sure. Fun Fact: Looking at the list of symptoms of psychopathy, they don't really match up with Aspergers/Autism. So if you have autism either you are not, or the chances are reduced of you being a psycopath as well. :D
Also, Drake, I wouldn't call him a predator... He's more like the pampered kid who throws tantrums if he doesn't get exactly what he wants all the time... Which isn't a contradiction to him being a predator. Never mind. Carry on.

yeah, he makes pretty frequent allegations of sociopathy and/or other serious mental illnesses. i can remember multiple occasions where he's called me personally and explicitly a psychopath, and there was that discussion on st about "internet trolls" correlating with psychopathy (which is really not surprising, when you think about it, but which was treated as an absolute). his propensity to attach tags that he doesn't even remotely understand to people is really quite worrying.
