I think there's a good idea here.

Here's my idea so far:

- We allow people to tag their roleplays and interest checks with tags. Those tags predominantly consist of genres.
- We convert the each RP forum into a tag. For backwards-compatibility, whichever forum you create your roleplay in will be its first tag. For example, if you create your RP in 1x1, then '1x1' will be its first tag. You can then add more tags to it like 'Casual', 'Arena', and 'Sci-Fi'.
- I create a view that shows *all* interest checks in one list. Users can filter this list of interest checks by tags (and other options like interest checks only started by people on their friends list).

Once this tag system is somewhat proven and we consider it an improvement upon the current system:

- Users can specify their favorite tags on their profile.
- You can sort the user list by active roleplayers that share your favorite tags (i.e. a system for finding roleplayers that share your interests)
- When you view a user's profile, it shows the tags you have in common and perhaps the tags you have in conflict (like if you like 'Sci-Fi' but they marked it as something they dislike.

What do you think?

The nice thing about the above system is that it doesn't impact the current system. Everything is built on top of the "tag" system.

You could completely ignore the above changes and the only way your guild experience would change is that there are now tags (improved metadata) on interest checks and roleplays, something I consider to be an uncontroversial improvement.
