what makes a forum

Taxonomy like cars.mustang.1960s is a useful map for discovery: it layers topics so readers can drill from general 'cars' to a specific 'mustang' era. Keep tags consistent, prefer nouns over verbs, and allow faceted search (brand, model, decade). Pair tags with a lightweight guide so newcomers learn the scheme fast.

Nice fragment. If you're sketching taxonomy, push it toward a concrete skeleton: rules for tag nouns, depth limits, and a short governance doc. Show examples like cars.mustang.1960s and its facets (brand, model year, era) and map how newcomers learn the scheme. A lightweight guide helps consistency and discoverability at scale.
