Yea they were pretty much pointless. We got stuff like "Become GURU!!! in 3 days Tags: poop monkey guru cardtricks tassrooolz" So yeah, good choice tass
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOW COULD YOU The best PART about tags was that they were stupid and irrelevant! THEY WERE FUN. YOU'RE ALL FUN-HATERS.
I liked the tags when anyone could add them. Stepmania Scores had some hilarious ones, but I guess it could be for the better seeing as they couldn't be changed by average people anyway
Even though they were potentially irrelevant and useless, you got a good laugh at it. Though I'd bet you guys can find a good laugh elsewhere. OHAI YOUTUBE. Cockpolisher, haha. Good one...
Okay, I'm not a tgber and I think this was a bad move, I all the people against probably have no or very little sense of humor and it is probably things that are not very funny, however the people with a big sense of humor actually had fun with the tags and I didn't know about them until now and I wish I did know about them! Oh well, tess has spoken and what's done is done.
They were nice while they lasted. Really no point to them though even though they were funny from time to time. I think FFYa should've had them kept though, just for kicks.
For a while my down votes and up votes counted as two votes, was that a glitch? Sorry if I abused it too much. The down votes does get a point across though even if it isn't our own point, but that doesn't really matter I guess.
wow, are you serious? You can get banned by expressing your own opinion about other members comments! I'm sorry but that is severly messed up and MalDON yes I was down voting all the people who agreed with tass, you are really going to ban all the other people who did it to???
I never said you would get banned, that is silly talk. There are a few of you that think it's funny to down vote everything. That might have to be addressed. Notice how everything down voted has around the same amount? That is because it's the same group of people. I'm not making any threats to them, other than the fact that their "rebellion" is not achieving anything.
All I'm saying is that maybe before an admin takes action to removing or adding something that they should get the community's thoughts and opinions on that way the "rebellion" that you are referring to would never come to be and there will be no disappoint. Besides I thought the choices that the admins make are suppose to contribute to the whole community not the the veterens because if you see most of the people that agreed to the no tags are the more experienced players!
But shouldn't the admins be concerned how the community is going to feel about changes like these. I mean that is one of their main purposes is to serve the community or at least I thought?
If every user on the site gets 1 vote... every subbie would get 5 votes... every staff member would get 20 votes... then every admin would get 100,000,000 votes. And I can assure you... every single admin agrees that tags are bad, mmmkay?
Oh yea... also... tags were an INCIDENTAL addition to the forums with the vB upgrade. We never wanted them in the first place, and it was somewhat of a mistake that they were put in place in the first place. I only just discovered how to completely remove them, and so I did. End of story.
Haha Mal I wasn't saying anything by mass downvoting the comments maligning the seemingly much-hated tags. I thought it was funny more than anything. You know, using neat functionality for comical purposes. Like slapping users, or closing chats, or tags ;.;
talk about being a cynic. Yeah, I thought tags were funny while they lasted and knew they'd be eliminated eventually. But it's not like the downvoting is nothing more than another funny ploy, you know, just like the tags.
Tags actually did have uses though. It organized certain threads together like the ffr lps. It could also have been easier to organize other threads like those that concerns official ffr threads (actual difficulty thread, tier point thread, etc). Not to mention you just eliminated a whole new medium for forum humor. Could we at least be given actual reasons as to why they were removed?
So I just read the reasons Tass gave and they were pretty reasonable. But if it's possible to disable tags in certain forums then I don't see why they shouldn't just disabled them in privatized forums. In this way, tags will still be able to retain it's use but it wont be abused to look at threads in private forums.
Tags sucked because they're a waste of database size. If people want to find something more easily on a forum then just like C&P the URL to a specific post or something... Well, I don't really know... haha
I like how everyone downed the comment if it said anything in the line of "Yeah, good thing they're gone, too." or "We had tags? ; Wtf are tags?" But yeah.. the tags were pointless as hell.
neobludragon: How can someone be immature if they disagree with something via down voting? Smarten up. I down vote comments like your solely because I disagree with them, or I just hate the person. ;P

they were pretty much pointless.
Posted at 2:49pm on June 4th, 2008
Good job, tass. We just had tag-abuse anyways.
Posted at 2:55pm on June 4th, 2008
Gotta agree. Nothing but stupid and irrelevant tags for the most part.
Good choice.
Posted at 3:00pm on June 4th, 2008
They could've been useful, but this is probably for the best.
Posted at 3:00pm on June 4th, 2008
There were some funny ones in TGB, but other than that, useless.

Posted at 4:27pm on June 4th, 2008
Thank god. A forum does not need tags.
Posted at 4:27pm on June 4th, 2008
tags? what the hell are those?
Posted at 4:59pm on June 4th, 2008
Users could put 'tags' on a thread so if you seach for something, it would also check tags on threads.
Posted at 5:16pm on June 4th, 2008

So yeah, good choice tass

Posted at 5:44pm on June 4th, 2008
Make the search engine better and I'll forgive you.
Posted at 5:44pm on June 4th, 2008
Tags were awesome what the hell bring them back this instant.

Posted at 6:37pm on June 4th, 2008
cockpolisher was my favorite tag.
Posted at 6:47pm on June 4th, 2008
comment votes was such a cool idea
Posted at 6:54pm on June 4th, 2008
The most disappointing thing to happen to the forums in a long while.
Posted at 6:59pm on June 4th, 2008
They had potential. Potential to be misused in an entertaining matter. And they were misused in an entertaining matter.
Posted at 7:12pm on June 4th, 2008
hahaha I have no clue what tags are lol
Posted at 7:43pm on June 4th, 2008
Thank fucking god. They were without a doubt one of the most annoying things I've ever seen, and getting rid of them was an excellent move.
Posted at 7:46pm on June 4th, 2008
damn TGBers voting down our comments
Posted at 7:49pm on June 4th, 2008
All the down votes just mean we're right.
Posted at 8:06pm on June 4th, 2008
NO =[ some were actually pretty funny :]
Posted at 8:22pm on June 4th, 2008
I assure you that it is not just tgbers that are upset about this
Posted at 8:24pm on June 4th, 2008

Posted at 9:18pm on June 4th, 2008
Oh come on tags were wonderful. And even if they were just silly most of the time there definitely were good uses for them.
Posted at 9:19pm on June 4th, 2008
I never noticed that comments with negative ratings become hidden.
I don't find tags useful, and they're often misleading.
Posted at 9:21pm on June 4th, 2008
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Finally

Posted at 10:07pm on June 4th, 2008
Like what All_That_Chaz said, some were helpful.
Posted at 10:13pm on June 4th, 2008
Just as much point to them as up/down voting
Posted at 10:48pm on June 4th, 2008
It seems that a group of you think mass down voting will get your point across. It will not, and yes, I know who you are.
Posted at 10:50pm on June 4th, 2008
LOL you tell em
Posted at 10:53pm on June 4th, 2008
Tass, you suck :(
Posted at 11:01pm on June 4th, 2008
can you get banned for voting a comment down
Posted at 11:34pm on June 4th, 2008
For a while my down votes and up votes counted as two votes, was that a glitch? Sorry if I abused it too much.
The down votes does get a point across though even if it isn't our own point, but that doesn't really matter I guess.
Posted at 11:47pm on June 4th, 2008
ya setaka better b carefull
Posted at 12:01am on June 5th, 2008
wow, are you serious?
You can get banned by expressing your own opinion about other members comments!
I'm sorry but that is severly messed up and MalDON yes I was down voting all the people who agreed with tass, you are really going to ban all the other people who did it to???
Posted at 12:19am on June 5th, 2008
You're about as smart as your username.
Posted at 12:43am on June 5th, 2008

maybe they only vote down comments that they disagree with
Posted at 1:08am on June 5th, 2008

A lot of negative votes for those in favor. Apparently the taggers are taking this rather hard :D

never used the tags. thought they were pointless. good job tass. the search function worked just fine
Posted at 8:32am on June 5th, 2008
Voting is weighted? Where's the equality here?!
Posted at 8:33am on June 5th, 2008
Lol 3/5 vote.

Yes, tags are useful, but not on a forum. The built in search feature works just as well.

Tags took up valuable space, and they were unneccary.
P.s. Just so you know, this comment is un-down votable! ;)
