The maximum stake is 500,000 tfuel per node. On the Explorer, you see TOKENS STAKED value, updated regularly. The available space is 500,000 minus total TOKENS STAKED current value.
As there is too little traffic on this website, there is no automatic tracking of the space left for staking to be implemented on the web page. It requires more coding and APIs updates.

There is a built-in mechanism to check it out. The fees are allocated directly to the node wallet itself. The coinbase deposits are time-marked, proving the node is running or stopped. The more stakes, the more frequent deposits and of lower amount.
There used to be some, but they've been abandoned because they cost more than they earn.
It doesn't matter. Yes, it is safe to stake on it, as any others, as your tokens stay all the time in your wallet during delegation. Make sure to select STAKE and not SEND in your wallet. Not sure your tokens sent will be returned to the sending wallet (just joking).
Currently in a data center as it's safer to rely on it than locally, as residential electricity or Internet are subjected to outages.
So far, there is no social medias linked to this website as it is too time consuming for an unprofitable service.

It is called REWARD SPLIT on the top left side of the screen.
Frequently asked questions found on Discord and Slack (edited)
You can run your own Guardian Node, delegate to someone you know that already has a Guardian Node, use the built-in function One Click Guardians Nodes Delegation or join a commercial pool.
You need the Guardian Node Summary for that Node or use the built-in function One Click Guardians Nodes Delegation and go into your wallet and click the stake tab and put in that Guardian Node Summary, and how much you want to stake. You need also enough TFuel to cover the transfer cost.
Yes, it just has to be in increments of 1000 Theta or more.
There was a Tfuel faucet in the Theta web wallet at https://wallet.thetatoken.org/ but this function has been decommissioned.
No, the summary address is the address you stake to your Guardian Node. It's different but it starts with the Guardian Node address and it's longer.
No, the Guardian Node address is different from the Guardian Node Summary given to you by your Guardian Node that you stake to through your wallet.
Unfortunately right now, you need to unstake first. It may be changed in the future.
It will take around 60 hours to be fully withdrawn for you to be able to send it out of your wallet.
You need 1000 Theta tokens for your own Guardian Node or to delegate. If you have less then pool with a trusted friend is your best bet.
If you leave your computer on all day anyways then it doesn't really cost anything extra to run a Guardian Node, but if you're not someone who leaves their computer on all the time, then it does cost more.
Currently, the only way to add to your position is to add 1000 Theta tokens or more.
Same steps in your wallet as you do to run your own GN. You just use the Summary of somebody else or use the built-in function One Click Guardians Nodes Delegation and no need to run a Guardian Node.
It's always better to have fewer strong Guardian Nodes then several weak Guardian Nodes. If you delegate, it's better to spread multiple 1000 Theta tokens batches on different Guardian Nodes in case of Internet or power outage to minimize your rewards losses.
Unlike other staking protocols, Theta has a two token system where both THETA (that you stake) and TFUEL (that you earn and also can been staked) are traded assets. This means Theta Labs can't arbitrarily raise the staking yield as simply as you could if you were earning in the same token that you are staking. Theta Labs are continuing to look into potential changes, but it's a different situation than other staking protocols and one that can't use as simple of a fix.
At the moment, it's 0.3 TFuel. BTC and ETH are slower than Theta blockchain (1-2 seconds) which is the cheapest.
You can as long as they came from different wallets. The unstaking command comes from the Theta wallet, and will unstake any tokens from a given node address.
Yeah I have done it and still get paid for the other addresses while unstaking from the other address. It's true if they are staked from two different wallets to same or different Guardian node(s).
At this time, you can add only 1000 or more to stake at any time. You can also unstake all and then restake the 1100 or what.
