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

at this.
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.
btw, loving the new "Save and preview" button! :)
