With the AH.com New Board moving from vBulletin software to XenForo software in may 2016, the admin made a decision by autumn to innovate the Shared Worlds forum as well. Since tags were a feature of the new software, he implemented special "genre tags" for threads created in Shared Worlds, in addition to usual thread tags. These allow sorting the various SW game threads by their genre, including some of the newer or overlooked genres that previously lacked subforums of their own. The tags largely eliminated the need for subforums, and the three existing ones had their content migrated to the main SW forum and were subsequently disbanded. | With the AH.com New Board moving from vBulletin software to XenForo software in may 2016, the admin made a decision by autumn to innovate the Shared Worlds forum as well.
