Really liking the layout on the eighth nerve.

I can't help thinking that a similar approach for this forum would really improve it - for example adding tags (such as 'processing', 'synthesis', 'capytalk', 'smalltalk', 'cool sound' etc) to posts would help with the organisation of posts. Especially for the tweaky too : it would become 'self' organising but unfortunately too would put Charlie Norton out of a job ;-) (Sorry Charlie!)

That's exactly why I reckon the forum/wiki ought to follow the design principle of the eight nerve site.

To be honest I'm just not a fan of the wiki syntax and the wiki contents and it's users would be better served (imho) if the information/sounds were better organised - which I appreciate you have started.

For example, the sounds category in the share section of the tweaky.
The list is getting quite long (which is good!), however I reckon it would great too if the sounds in each Sound Category were also organised, e.g. by date added or Alphabetically.

Using a cms (content managment system) for example Drupal, would allow this sorting and organisation to be created on the fly as more items were added. Also, it would allow users to determine how the list would be presented to them, i.e. one could select how the items should be listed - e.g. by date.
