Darth Vader didn't do any DDoS attacks at all. What he DID do, however, was coerce Young Yoshi and a few others into spamming fake accounts on ST, which unsurprisingly angered the Almighty Spoodow.
My opinion of the Almight Spoodow, though? It's... complex, I suppose. I was significantly against him during the Big Five Bannings, and continued a strain of non-acted anger towards him (that is, I talked amongst a few confidants about it but never did anything vocal). I was a member of a group which housed a few troll/hackers from FH, which might have shaped my opinions. But that's irrelevant, right?! D:
After he started explaining things, I felt more comfortable. However, I still felt the hostility to anything remotely Fig- or male-related stuff, especially if it's both of them. At one point I tried to get an account on ST simply because I was curious, yet my careless IP stuff revealed it and I was banned in, well, 15 minutes. I suppose it doesn't help that Pseudo sees me as a 'youngling', coming to FH at 13. I've acted rather immaturely around him formerly, too. Pseudo's the type of person who holds grudges.
Now? Ambivalent, I suppose. I'm happy that he's admitted that a few of the bannings were wrong, but bitter over the fact that he still hasn't unbanned them yet despite having enough time to write essays on ST. I mean, 10 essays per day is quite a lot of time. I wouldn't expect changing one variable in a database would take much time. I enjoy(ed) his games, but he's drifted towards his own niche genre, so I think that my fun with that is over. Despite all this, though, I am remarkably grateful that he made FH in the first place; it's grown to be my 'identity', so to speak. Online, I identify as a Fig, as part of the Fig community, which having a name which is directly derived from the FH-verse adds to.
In response to your emotional thinking stuff about him... FH isn't really that logical at all, I think. It's just that a vocal minority use logic to justify things, and very infrequently logical debates occurred in the chat. It's not really that bad – I spend/spent a LOT of time in the chatroom. I understand he has feelings, which is why after my ST banning I 'gave up' being angry. However, constantly whining about how his creation (observe the last line) has caused him so much pain yet not acting upon it as the administrator is, frankly, irresponsible. I still respect him in the manner that he decided to solve his 'problem' by not going on FH any more, though.
I actually used a primarily emotional-based argument for the unbanning of Heiveldboy, although he now doesn't want to rejoin. :/
Anyway, I think that most of us have stopped any aggression towards him, regardless of how much of a {INSERT INSULT HERE} he is. :3
I'm an INTP with almost equal T/F and P/J things, by the way, if that clarifies things for you.
Oh, and thanks for mentioning me. I'm flattered! :D

Hello beautiful. ♥
I'm replying to Sapphiros' comment to reply to this thread because Sapphiros is my master. ♥
You know what's been said about the DDoS thing or whatever it is. No need to repeat it.
Pseudo honestly just kind of annoys me now, he seems far too needy and hypocritical and rude and insensitive and other wonderful things. He seems to exaggerate things too much sometimes. He seems intolerant. I used to respect him, then he kind of went down in a little spiral, and crashed, burned, and didn't even bake a cake with his flames (of anger, clearly) at around last December. Then I stopped caring. And just ignored stuff. That's about it.
I find it important that I mentioned cake. This post was probably useless.

The fourth statement is pretty skewed, I think. You can have a low cognitive empathy but a high affective empathy but not be an asshole. Basically the person who sits there listening to everything the person says and is really supportive, but doesn't actually know how to fix it or what to do to make them feel better. That doesn't make them an asshole, I think.
I mean, I actually have a low affective empathy but a high cognitive one, it seems. I don't think I'm that much of an asshole, right?! D:

Besides the woman that Savage mentioned, there was also the 'big 5 bannings' which Pseudo made, causing quite a bit of controversy. This only added to his feeling that he's a victim, despite banning five active members of the community without any hint of an explanation.
Besides that, there's also the attacks on ST, the DDoS attacks on FH (which lead to the DUUUHpocalyse), and his general university life which he finds too stressful because of the amount of human interaction it entails.
There's probably other things, though, which only the secretive group of friends Pseudo has on ST know about.

But why? Everyone is going on about it, but what actually makes it a good film?

I think that no game can compare to the charm that Botanicula brings. It's a wonderfully unique game in any way I can care to think of. Firstly, you play as a little group of five plant-y things. They only ever speak in gibberish, which is pretty awesome. Not only that, but every other character only uses gibberish – the only text that ever appears is on the title screen and the options screen. They use little animated image bubbles to convey their messages, and it's actually a wonderful way to narrate the story. It seems that emotions are a lot more easily shown through this method, or something! Secondly, it's funnily funny. At parts. The graphics are beautiful, the puzzles range from logic to intuition to twitch-movements, and the soundtrack is truly extraordinary. It's a suitable length, and has an abundance of easter eggs and hidden treats (literally – there's like 60 in total).
The actual story is rather simple: there's these strange spider things that suck the life out of your tree (which is basically the equivalent of your entire world). Mr Lantern (one of the characters you play as) has found the last remaining seed of the tree, and has thus taken the responsibility to run away from the spiders and plant a new tree, which would save everyone! He gathers his four friends, and together you run through a multitude of surreal worlds on this tree, trying to find a way off the tree. Sometimes you succeed, sometimes you fail, sometimes you get confused and just sit there smiling at the ingenuity of it all. Then you complete it, with a tear in your eye, and can live your life twenty times better than before. And more...!
Seriously, though, Botanicula is my favourite game of all time. There should be a law in place that forces everyone to play it at least three times. :3
Oh, and their actual site is here. You can play a demo of it there. But get it anyway!!1 :D
