As for the lackluster performance of these modern mafia games, is it because of the number of people? Because I think endgame is usually the most exciting part of some of these games, and in smaller games, endgame comes quickly hence are often more fun.
Also, I've noticed that people are REALLY reluctant to lynch. I mean granted, you can't be too gung-ho lest you become suspect, but still, everyone plays very cautiously. I admit to doing it too sometimes, but I try to break the habit when I notice it.

I'm not so sure about this, actually. My concern is that having weird and wonderful setups is the norm now. We get C9 mafia's, but they're mostly just for newbies, and I haven't been able to bring myself to use completely vanilla roles in any of my games yet simply because I know it would bore the pants of any player with it (I tested this theory on Josh in Athkatla by giving him the only really powerless role in the game, and sure enough, he hardly made any contribution).
Not enough people know how to play vanilla.
meh I only make non-vanilla games too, but you can't blame me, I did this originally. I'm not a copycat. also my games are kept alive with a fresh coating of spam.

Do the mafia communicate and night? and if so how? This is on cc
Yes, usually when you get your role pm and your scum you get a list of your scum pals. At night you can talk back and forth via pm. Sometimes you send it to the mod first and he relays it but usually it goes straight to the other players on your side.

I know how to tempt a man? :O Hehe, I designed it yesterday and its based on the TV show heroes and 90% of the roles are brand new ones. However, I'm pretty stressed at the moment (being set a 2000 word essay to do in a week) and if you notice I'm only in 3 mafias at the moment and only have 5 risk games running so I'm not certain as to when to start it. I'm also in a dilemma as to who to invite so I might random.org a few of the people out of a list of players I like (don't worry you're automatically in )

Same here, I know what it is, but I don't watch it. But I like the idea of new roles. ^_^ (Like host.)
