Out of curiosity do any of the mods or admins maintain contact with lowtax, like feedback on yeah this happened, there's so many bans or probes this month, etc? Or is it just lowtax dropping by once in a while with some pizzas?

What are X-bans? Is there a difference between an X-ban and normal ban?

Are there any mod guidelines for megathreads or is it always case-by-case? Like what makes you go "alright time to restart this 500 page beast"?
Personally, I find that I visit individual forums less and rather find a megathread to bookmark and sift through from the control panel, especially in Games and PYF. Do you somtimes think megathreads make it difficult for a subforum to grow?

This last one may be more suited for QCS, so let me know if I should ask it there instead:
Are there any plans for the Saclopedia? It was obviously more relevant during SA's golden age, but sometimes I visit it when a old name or in-joke pops up or I want to find and read TobleroneTriangular's reveal post again.

1) I've never heard of an X-Ban. Do you mean permabans?

2) It's pretty much whatever the people running the forum think works best. Not just for megathreads, for everything. If it's a multi-mod forum I imagine they communicate and figure poo poo out together, but if it's a one man operation like I run in TFR there is a lot of discretion to do whatever is best for the forum.

3) Yeah, megathreads suck. They're a necessary evil and are useful for a couple of things but they prevent people from discovering new content, which in turn leads to people not making new content. I'm a couple months deep into running gimmick posting pushes to try to counteract this in TFR. Personally I try to kill off megathreads once the OP becomes so dated it's useless and the OP is either unwilling or unable to update it. Really they're only good for things that are such frequent topics of conversation that you don't want them spilling out into every other thread.

Yeah, I'd imagine that's more of an issue for certain hyper-popular threads that clip by at hundreds of pages a day. I've never had to deal with one of those, so I have no insight into when that becomes a problem.

To clarify one thing, people tend to ask around if something is just bizarre and they're unsure of what to do. There's a whole super-secret mod subforum where we talk about all of you behind your backs and that kind of discussion goes on there.
