my other main forum Warpstorm has recently been experimenting with a tag based forum setup it has some very interesting applications and consequences, for one thing it allows for effectively a self organizing forum, rather than requesting a board from the administration you just add a tag to the threads you think should belong to that forum and like magic it's there.

also I thought this would be a good time to snipe for new membership as we are down to like 2 dozen people, if you've ever been unhappy with the administration here and wanted a good general purpose BSing board, try out WS, "It's Anarchic" ™

There is a problem with the tag based approach, though: You can't search properly (not that that should be a problem for the people around here ). I don't know if that's because Chesch cocked up, the tags make a conventional search impossible or even if searching is used enough to make it that big an issue, but what I do know is that if you ever need it, it's absence is painful.

Searching works here?  I'd love to find that scale picture of the FS warships next to the U.S. carrier group, but search is fail.

I was making a crack about how search here was disabled for ages because Goober broke it so you lot are better equipped to deal with its absence than people who are used to it working

search works fine...

granted it hasn't yet been upgraded to deal with tags yet, but the text based search works fine.

So it is still there. I couldn't find the link for it in the sidebar yesterday and my attempts to guess what it may be ended up with 404s...

Warpstorm was not Relevant To My Interest once and the forum now requires registration, so I cannot judge it. I don't trust you lot.

but you should, after all this is the forum where an0n spends most of his free time.

I know I've an account there. . . But I can't remember if it's Dekker, Colonol Dekker, JK47 or LOA--JK47. I can't seem to find the memberlist either without logging in. Vicious circle D:

if you haven't logged in for a year or two it was probably deleted, the administration periodically purges the database of people who have never posted and/or have not logged in for extended periods of time.

It may be difficult to believe, but most things that break on this forum are not my fault.  Search, in particular, is pretty poor in SMF 1.x.  SMF 2 is supposed to significantly improve it, but it's not been officially released yet.
