Tags Added

I've added a plug-in that allows for tagging posts.

I'm not entirely sure of it's effectiveness and I can see a few errors here and there.

The Tag weight is defined by the Most viewed threads.  If tags haven't been manually added they come from the thread title and this can lead to errors like words with characters attached that shouldn't be there or common words that can't really be used as a tag.

Furthermore the tags themselves when used to search other relevant threads currently outputs in a very poorly formatted version of the original posts.

hopefully all bugs aside it will prove useful, but if it proves to be too much clutter and pointless... well it can always be removed. 

Thoughts and suggestions are always welcome.

Edit:

It's possible that the server might appear offline as server load will be high as it adjusts to this new addition.  (Every new tag creates new entries, links and causes robots to potentially follow)  Hopefully this will sort itself in time, if it doesn't then I'll remove the tags again.

What are tags? What's their intended purpose?

Maybe my problem is that I don't understand them. But right now, my initial response is that they are just annoying and confusing.

Tags are suppose to be keywords that can reference a particular article and suppose to show which keywords are popular.

Admittedly I'm finding that the actual plugin for them is limited and heavy on serverload due to poor optimisation. For that reason I'm going to do a role back for the time being, maybe in the future a better version will be available. In any sense thanks for the feedback.
