I'm glad to see tags, as I think they are more useful than categories, but also work even better in conjunction with categories. However, I would they were part of the core...

Often people will use tags to send up posts/posters they don't like. Or to make jokes, or whatever. Plus what Ema said, so all told I'm not all that thrilled about them.

I'm now adding the alternative a-la twitter...
Just for fun (and because at least that doesn't require to fill another box).

I thought this was tags for topics, not posts, so that user's can find related content. Kinda like Stack Overflow.

Ohh...it's all mixed up... lol
The first implementation is a field where people can add a comma separated list of words that will be considered tags and attached to the topic (this is possible only for the first message of the topic and only by members that have the permission.
The second one (that is in fact just a setting switch...that I still have to add!) is something similar to the twitter hashtag: it uses the same "infrastructure" (so tags associated to topics, clouds if/where you want them (still have to add settings, though) and it shows the tagged words into the message. Each of those words is a link to a list of topics with the same tag. The difference is that anyone can post a message with a tag and the tag will be associated to the topic... And now I'm working on the maintenance that is a PITA...

Nice addon but I think if this is combined with first post on every page, the it'd be better.

Tags and hashtags are already more or less combined. There are some differences, but the two systems are different, so it seemed meaningless to merge them more (for example if you can add hashtags it useless to have a box to add tags, just add to the text).
Merge the prefixes is something I was thinking about, but there are few considerations in order to do, and I feel prefixes are usually used in a very different way than tags, and I'm not sure merging everything in one "thing" is worth the effort.
