#6 Some way to group topics
You've told me several times that "Groups" are intended to be groups of users, but I still think there needs to be a way to group related topics together... take this GWW skill feedback page for example:
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/ArenaNet:Skill_feedback
They have the feedback organized under the "Skill feedback" page, then by profession. I think there needs to be a way to do something like that on this site... otherwise you'd have dozens of skill feedback topics, with no real way of listing them as a whole... thoughts?

Does the tag view help, such as in: http://guildwars.grupt...professions
Another idea: See what I did on the front page at the Modwest feedback community (still pre-launch): http://feedback.modwest.com
Note how I used links to the tag pages to act as "categories" in that welcome banner.
I think the tags might be able to do the trick, but I still have a few issues that you could help me address:
First, it seems strange to me that when I click the "skill feedback" tag, I get any results with the word "skill" or the word "feedback"... I even see that it populates the search box with "skill feedback" - so what's the difference between using tags and just searching? I personally think that users should only see results that have specifically been marked with whatever tag is selected.
Second, it would be nice if the "mega tags" behaved like parent tags for the one's typed into the "tags for this question" box (at this time, I can't really see any difference between "mega tags" and the other). For example, I created the "skill feedback" tag and then added a few topics with that mega tag selected, adding "warrior skill", "monk skill", etc to those topics. But those tags show up on the main page just like every other "mega tag"... it would be nice if they only showed up when you clicked "skill feedback" under the "Tags related to skill feedback" section.
Does all that make any sense? =)
