This wikipage is basically an attempt at condensing the threads on Vogons into a single list to make it easier to find threads containing interesting bits of information. Everything is roughly listed into separate categories and this list can be seen as a continuous WIP

Some of these threads are several years old though, so please consider not kicking an old thread and instead create a new thread, optionally with a link to the old thread.
