In the boards I read,there is often a main page,leading to different sub-forums,each one containing the topics related to it,without using tags.
So,newcomers may not be used to tags.
Anyway,here,there is all topics on the same page,which can be useful.With categories,there is a risk some people read only a couple of them,and so,not know nor answer the topics in other sub-forums.It is more easy to have a look at all the active subjects here.
