On the topic of tags, I'd be interested in any MyBB mods people can dig up for tagging (I'm aware of this one on the MyBB site). So, if those advocates for such a system can post links to such mods that they find, that'd be helpful. I'm not wedded to a subforum, but it is an easy and non-opaque way to see what's going on. FWIW, I'm not a huge fan of tags because, in my experience, if users can tag anything with any text (as they can on, say, SE's forum or, to a lesser extent, StackExchange or any given JIRA bugtracker or Salesforce instance), tag search ends up being not much better than free text search. However, I'm willing to be convinced otherwise. Smile

Regarding a "Making Connections" forum (for seeking RP), I'm going to make a poll on that topic, too. Smile

EDIT: An alternative to tags is thread prefixes (see this explanation), which gets around the "free tagging" problem, but manipulates thread titles.

EDIT 2: One major problem with thread prefixes is that you only get one per thread. So, we'd either have to have a lot of them, or live with a smaller, less descriptive set. Sad
