The need is evident, why not go this direction. I'm sure there are plenty of 'cooked' up forum modules you could buy and modify as you wish.

To repeat what I said in another post;
6WTags are very useful on social platforms, but they have no utility for forum purpose, so trying to use these as 'categories' for forums, is kind of like trying to use tree logs as wheels for a car.

You might get from point A to point B with either, but the trip is going to ruin everything.

I'm not sure if I'm adressing this to the right person, but here it goes..

6WTags are limitless, where as forum categories are defined properly.

With 6WTags, you will get the issues of duplicate tags. Let's say someone searches for crash. I could have logged the 6WTag as 'Crash', the next guy could log it as 'Crashs', the next guy could log it as 'Bluescreen', the next guy could log it as 'Plantage'.

What I'm trying to say if you will have a multitude of tags that would all fit within one category on a forum, but will be split apart on here, unless you're saying there will be someone going through every tag to filter them, but I doubt it as Fred and John have been having fun adding tags to every thread and they haven't been removed. Even if there was, it would still become a giant mess to sort because the possibilities are just endless and you'd be asking your 'Tag moderator' to figure out what people meant with their tags.


If you were to have categories, it would force people to pick the right category, instead of having morons creating 6WTags such as ''SWSUX'' or ''LOLCRASH'' or whatever could happen. It somewhat forces a rigid workflow.
