Oh.. repost.

Ha.

But true.

could you just turn tags on in the polo forum?
unless of course you had complaints from those tags which i highly doubt.
Tags were one of the funniest things about the forum (although outside of the polo forum, some tags were in poor taste and humour)

Nooo! Polo tags are a constant source of joy.

I worked so hard on my polo tags this week, created some real beauties only this morning... Heartbroken... :(

No polo tags, no fun?

tags are shit. good riddance

Fuck off, grandad...

I've always liked tags, I find them a lot of fun, although I don't contribute much to them. Admittedly, their search utility has been completely borked. I honestly don't think you'd get many complaints if the authorship was openly visible, but then you'd probably get complaints about abusive PMs that people might write to make up for the lack of an opportunity to bitch anonymously.

In order to make the forum more useful and searchable, I suspect that it would be easier to add a feature which allowed people to add tags to their own posts. Those tags needn't be visible but could help in searches better than public tags, assuming that people would want to use that feature in a useful way, e.g. to find stuff they'd written more easily again later. We obviously have a large backlog of posts, so it wouldn't be very deeply embedded straightaway.

So, I think two requirements for future public 'tags' would be the aforementioned tagger outing and to make the system quite robust and powerful so that abuse wouldn't cause the whole forum difficulty like it did during Taggate (although I'm not saying that easy abuse should be enabled).

He's younger than you, you old fart.

Oh fuck off, Oliver.

Ha.

Nothing like strategic interpolation of posts.

Doesn't that hurt?

It hurts so good.

O rly, grandad?

Yes. He's younger than me too, you fucking coffin dodger.

You sweary old fossils are putting me right off my porridge.

What is this? Fucking geriatrics anonymous? Fuck off back to the tv room, you grey-pubed crones.

You sweary old fossils are putting me right off my porridge.

And you can fuck off back to the nursery as well, sonny.

You'd better join us then you old bastard.

Or have you got some reminiscing to do about when you were a courier?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Alzheimers?

I didn't even get to write anything that offensive.
