Well the tags really serve as the sub-forums. We cannot create tags - only admin can do that. Having said that, I hope there are sales type tags created - WTB/WTT, Straight Sales and Auctions.

I would also like to see some sort of website promotion tag although that could be in some sales tag.

The problem with the Tags as they stand now is they seem to be ordered by number of posts. This keeps changing, as does the order of the tags. They should be kept in Alphabetical order so we can find them without having to read down a list every time to see their new position.

While this helps gauge the popularity of certain topics, it is useless as a Forum substitute. Hopefully forums will be broken out and the Powers will use the tag popularity to assess which forums to make.

I'm not a fan of the Reddit/BB style sheets myself.

Much more structured to have it in a traditional form, using blocks.

But Cest la vie, each to their own

I just noticed if you click on the word TAGS itself (at the left of the screen) it will open an alphabetized list of the Tags for easier perusing.

We definitely need subforums because there is a massive list of threads i need to sift thru from not being on since last night.

I'd say the "usual" ones we are used to would do.

I don't know, Marc, but if so we need two things:

1. A probation list and wall of shame; and

2. Absolutely need a "Seasoned CBCS Boardie" threshold to be eligible to buy or sell. Something like minimum membership of 90 days and at least 50 posts. By no means fool-proof, but better than nothing, which at least ferrets out the top layer of riff-raff.
