new tag based forum concept
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" ™

Re: new tag based forum concept
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.

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

Re: new tag based forum concept
search works fine...
http://warpstorm.com/forum/index.php?action=search
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...

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. :p  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.
