Actually I'm in agreement with Vladimir. NNTP as a backend system

No, we could easily add tags just prepend them as:
[GUI][Serialization] Help!!!! cannot serialize widgets data to disk
Really its just the web interface that needs to support it. NNTP
clients will be more then happy to just search for "[GUI]".
While I access this newsgroup exclusively through the web and do not use
the NNTP/email interfaces at all and agree that those backends are
unnecessarily limiting the web forum, I agree with Vlad and Rikki that
an old technology is not necessarily inferior. Given the crap that's
often created with new tech, it seems like people do not learn from the
old tech at all.
I agree with Rikki that it'd be better to add features to the web forum
in a backward-compatible way, such as putting tag names in the titles or
using Markdown for the forum's markup, which is perfectly readable in
email.
We're already doing it. Why not just make it easier? Also makes posts
like this a thing of the past.
btw, loving the new "Save and preview" button! :)
