I realize you don't want to have a long scrolling list of categories and have to limit when you ad new ones.

I would say that adware/spyware is and will continue to be as important as virus threats ever was, and is probably to the point where it deserves a heading. (What do you know, it would even out the lists!)

Another more random thought, Sub categories, if you select something like Windows, maybe allow to select which flavor of Windows you are working with? The same could be easily be said for Servers.

One of the reasons for developing the tagging system that we are working on is to allow the community to create dynamic subcategories within our existing fixed list of categories.

So when you post a thread within the Windows category, you could tag it as "Windows XP" or "Windows NT."

We would display the 10 (or so) most-popular tags on each category page.

That was a link to a different forum. Here is what I posted there about tagging:

This is the My Discussions page with tag sorting added. Users can sort their own discussions by the tags or view all discussions by that same tag.

Isn't it about time someone cleaned up and did a force closing of anything over a year old?
