As much as I love "A pileon of MeFites," I would "vote" against it for two reasons:
1) It's kind of mean, and while sometimes some of us can be truly mean, it suggests that what's most important about us is that we gang up on people.
2) It's part of a specific MeFite's name, and that just seems wrong.

For example, here at MeTa it's a plaint of MeFites, but on AskMe it's an oversharing of MeFites. On MeFi proper, we're a ballyhoo.

"douche" is to assholes as "enema" is to MeFites. If one were Mensa-testing.

A plate of Mefites like a plate of beans?
Chicago Mefites are a tiny beer of Mefites.

A masturbation of MeFites.
Always my "go to" pretend collective noun, but I think it works extra well in the masturbatory world of internet forums. Unashamedly pinched from an Alas Smith and Jones episode.
That particular collective noun sketch started a meme according to this IMDB link [do a CTRL+F and search for "fart of zebras"].

An enspousenal of mefites.
A scrutiny of mefites.
"Hive" is really very good, but describes the total population.
A colony of mefites.
A drone of mefites.
A bombination of mefites.
I kind of like "an enthing of mefites."

It's not "a douche of assholes", it's "a clyster of assholes".
And I thought the proper collective noun was "a pedantic thrash of Mefites". No?
