"It would be nice - not essential - but nice" type requests are closed at this point I presume? I mean given that there huge amounts of never-going-to-be-paid time going into what is already on the list Or are you still considering suggestions for improvements?
I would be there right now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What do you have in mind? Last time I tried to test the temperature of interests, just about the only thing pegging still the meter was font face/size changes.

OK - well this is new, and kind of minor. But how about a tag archive. Since I presume tags are just a field in the database you could initially populate it with a query. And then everytime someone changed their tags, you could capture the new tag and add it to the archive. And then you would have some sort of simple display of all tags. Just a fun thing - cause we have lots of good tags and not all of them make it into Coffee.
But there it is - just a a simply display of all tags from now onwards. Just cause I think there is a lot of great snark, and fun quotes in those tags that deserve to be preserved. So I would find it a nice thing to have. Don't know if anyone else would. And certainly don't know if it is worth the trouble.

So we'd have all the tags together? Cause that seems weird to me.
I'd rather just have my tag live with the posts that was made while that was my tag.

Well an argument against it. I think it would be kind of cool - like a Buffista Dictionary of Quotations.
Almost by definition a tag works in multiple contexts.

I keep a running tab of all the tags I have that I think are worth keeping. It's not something I'd want automated.

What is even happening?

I skimmed right past this -- me, I also like my tag changing everywhere, all at once. Well, except for the archives, but I can't have everything.
I'm very attached to the ephemeral nature, is all. It's a characteristic for me.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I think there are also other ways to do it. I store all of my ex-tags in my user profile. If you see someone else's tag that you especially like, you can always put it in COMM.
