Sorry to poll you guys so soon after the other one, but the idea came up: tagging posts with the fandoms of the posted secrets.

Pros:
+ Much easier to go back and find specific secrets
+ Much easier to go back and find specific fandoms
+ If you're late(r) to the post, easier to check for your fandoms without loading the post for the Name the Fandom thread

Cons:
- Giant block of tags at the bottom of each post (90 secrets with 90 fandoms = 90 tags in one post -- yeah)
- Waaay labor intensive; 584 posts to go back and tag (though you guys can help with this)

[Poll #1239073]

ETA:

Ok! If we do put in tags, they'll go up on the posts after they've moved off the front page. So no GIANT LIST OF TAGS appearing on your flist, but they'll be there for anyone who wants to search the archives.

Keep in mind that lj still has the 1000 tag limit for every journal/community. You'll need more than that.

You'd be surprised at how fast they add up. We had almost 3000 tags in a community I mod when lj pulled the plug on the tags.

Think of just how many different anime fandoms there are.

I agree with "celebrities" and "obscure fandoms"...and maybe also "bandom" in there as well.

whaaaaaat no, there's a lot of fandoms that get posted here but not THAT many
