Maybe it's just me, but I feel like everywhere I go I keep seeing the same threads, and of course it's because almost every tag is used in every post. Basically anyone that makes a new post just adds, #gaming, #bungie, #offtopic, #Flood, #Septagon, #Community. I mean, I guess it makes sense to add as many as possible, but then what is the point of even having the tagging system if whatever tag you look at you see the same threads. The old system was nice because you could go to the Flood and see off topic stuff, you could go to the Community Forum and have a nice conversation about community stuff, or you could go to the Bungie Universe Forum and laugh at all the nerds, but we can't [i]really[/i] do that anymore, not in the same way. What do I propose? Add categories. The purpose would be to make it so that you can only have one "Official Tag" and by clicking to show this tag you would, in essence, be seeing the Flood, or the Community Forum, or the Bungie Universe Forum, but you wouldn't see the conglomerate Bungie Community Flood Forum, unless you went [url=http://www.bungie.net/en-us/View/community/Forum/Topics?tg=%23bungie+community+flood]here[/url]. So what am I really trying to suggest? Turn the "Official Tags" into categories, and when anyone posts they have to check ONE of these. It would make it more like the old sub-forums. Within these categories you could have any tag you wanted and by following or clicking these tags you could see any posts tagged with these from any and every category or you could filter within categories. This relatively small change could, I think, make a big difference. EDIT: Yeah! It happened!

    Sub forums and you get up to three tags. I'd go with one hash tag myself. Because right now, like you've said, this is a mess. There's a widely used and perfected forum template for a reason. Some of these solutions are needlessly convoluted. Is the forum really better if we have to check boxes and categories with hash tags some of which are prioritized and some of which aren't? All that does is turn people off to discussing here. It's gotta be quick and easy like the widely used forum template is.
