I don't quite understand why Slipknot calls its own fans maggots,altough I'm a hughe fan of them. Well, not that hughe that I understand why they're called that way yet.

I can only assume this (as I'm not a Slipknot fan...), but I'd figure that since a 'slipknot' is also known as a 'hangman's knot', it's a reference to suicide, and maggots thrive off the product of the suicide: a corpse... just as fans thrive off the product of the band: the music.
They both swarm, consuming everything given to them, and when when everything is said and done, they leave quite a mess.
But then again, I might be wrong, and the band might just be insulting the sheepishness of the fans, and they like every bit of it. Like I said... I'm not a fan.

It's just a pet name the band likes to call their fans. Maggots are in big groups together for the same reason as Slipknot fans gather together to see thier concerts. Slipknot Rocks!
