Discontinued Tags for Fandomhighdorms
Since FH has existed for a Very Long time, some of our communities have a Very Long list of tags -- enough to bump up against Dreamwidth's tag limits for free comms. fandomhighdorms is one of them.
This list is our best solution for that issue short of always maintaining a paid account: we've gone through the tags for dropped characters only and deleted all of them that were only used 5 times or less. (Should we near the tag limit again, we may increase that number, but it seems unlikely to happen given the original buildup took ten years.)
Don't worry, though! You can still find all the posts from those characters without having to hunt them down on your own. We've replaced those tags with a chronological list of URLs for each post in which the character was tagged.
So if you don't see a character tag on the Tags Page, check here! (Or if you just prefer to read the scrolly version of posts, the old-style tags are still intact on LJ.) If you don't see it on any of the lists, then either they didn't appear in any posts in Dorms, or they did, but weren't tagged.
Side Note: we're also using this as the "character tag aggregator" post, which is why you might see some new character tags attached to the post itself (not in the list). This is a workaround for an LJ/DW quirk that restricts the first use of a new tag to community administrators; if we temporarily add them to an existing OOC post when they're created, then the player can apply their character's tag as soon as it's needed, rather than having to ask an admin to do it the first time.
