Joe, do you know why "wacky wheels" is missing from the tag cloud and "rott" is tiny now? There are as many threads with those tags as there ever were, so they should both be prominent on the tag cloud.

Also Retond8, the search page says it's listing the "most-searched-for thread tags" while the other tag cloud says it's the "most used thread tags". I suppose that explains the difference.

Some sort of policy on tagging threads may be in order... For example, every single thread in the DNF forum could conceivably be tagged with "dnf", and similarly for "dopefish" in the dopefish forum, etc. Maybe Joe should discourage tagging threads with the subject of the forum (i.e. tagging with "dnf" while in the DNF forum)? Personally, what I've been doing is tagging only the most interesting threads on any particular subject. For example, there are 74 search results for "balls of steel" in the Other Apogee Games forum, and I tagged the 14 threads that I thought were most likely to be of interest. Using that guideline, only the "best" dopefish threads would get a dopefish tag, whether they're in the Dopefish forum or not.

It all depends on how Joe wants the tags to be used though.

Also, I believe I was the first person to draw the attention of the Watchful Eye of Joe for my tagging a number of Wacky Wheels threads right after the software update.
