I've also heard that super-long threads cause problems because the thread-page drop-down can get long enough that browers start losing their poo poo.

That was a major problem with the pre-election Trump thread, which topped out at 14k pages.

So, apparently in addition to probations, bans and permabans, there used to be a couple of other forum-punishments, like "forums cancer" and "hellbanning" - could anyone, mods or non-mods, explain what those, and possibly other no longer used forum punishments did? Can mods/admins still request or do those now, at all?

If anyone remember hellbans actually being used, any idea of how long someone might have been hellbanned for before noticing it, like, did someone ever get hellbanned and just posted for months without noticing it?

You can still request cancer but I think the policy is "don't" because it looks bad and radium.
