Tags, in their brief heyday, were pretty much the equivalent of a 4chan tumor on HL2net. A stinking, festering growth of Anonymous on our precious forum. Admittedly there was some amusing and witty commentary in them, but they were abused far too much. As you would expect with that sort of thing.

Also, not to burst anyone's bubble, but we're not bringing them back unless we have a way to moderate them and know who posted what. Which we don't.

I heard that this wasn't 4chan for good reason. Anyway, go find my Doctor Breen Post in the "Tags [something] rock' thread. This will teach you a lesson.
 
It was obvious on Day One of their implementation that they would inevitably be removed. I only saw a handful of useful, legitimate tags. Everything else was spam. Occasionally funny, but abused way too much.

That's not how you made it seem when we first got them. Threatening to ban people for abuse etc. I bet you were just trying to scare us with power you didn't actually have to try to lessen the abuse :p

You also said "rest assured we'll mod it" so that they could be traced.

I was busy resting assured when suddenly they were taken away from me! It was brutal!

:arms:
 
Nah, awful feature. They probably really aren't going to come back either.
 
"sulk is a niggr" and "samon is a douche"

Thats why tags will never come back. Also very rarely were they ever funny.
 
I want them back, most of the time it was down-right hilarious,
"repiv hates darkies"
 
I say if a man walks a thousand feet to find himself an answer, if he finds a question instead, by gods name give it to him. A man is his own pride and dignity, a once in a life time opportunity to recollect his past solace. If you take that away from a man, a man with absolute prosperity and diligence to succeed in even the most arbitrary of propositions, then you are a thief.
