Just like articles, perhaps I can let people specifically tag forum posts as something. And clicking the tag would go to a list of forum posts also tagged like it.
The problem with the main category + forum system, is that it is quite an "old forum" way of doing it. So to help people find what they want and post what they want, maybe it might be a good idea?
What do you peeps think?
I wouldn't retire the traditional category/forum view right away (and perhaps not ever since it takes no effort to keep it - maybe just restructure them), but this could help activity and searching more.

Sure, but it would work better if the topic is associated with stats page. Like appears right below it for example?

My problem with tags is that it would be "harder" to use it - i.e., people would forget, not bother, or do it wrong. If posts are tagged inconsistently, it undermines the whole system - you do not in fact see the threads you would want under the tag, and must resort to other methods of searching. Or people might misuse certain tags and you get misplaced results, or everyone just posts everything with only very general tags. This could be mitigated by having a limited and curated set of tags... but in general, I don't trust tags for posts by a crowd of people. It is great for blogs, where it is the same person (or few people) doing it so consistent, and great for archival projects where accurate and extensive cataloging is a focus. For forums, I have my doubts.

A single mandatory "tag" (a category) is just very easy. Less powerful for sure, but hard to get wrong and easy to enforce. It sets a bare minimum of effectiveness xD
