The old forum system depended upon categories to function. It would obviously be helpful for new forum threads to be categorised — especially since they are in fact impossible to search.

I mean, how are we supposed to search forum threads nowadays? You can't search using Special:Search at all under any circumstances or any combination of namespace selections. Google seems prevented from seeing them.

Categories would at least give us something to go on.
