help me to decide to procrastinate (or not...)

Since I frequently ranted in the past about LJ's implementation of tags, it is no secret that I still stuck with just general tags, i.e. "comics", "recs", "tv", "continuity" etc., in the hope that eventually LJ will fix their tags so that I can display "comics+recs" or "comics+continuity" the way other sites using tags allow (and maybe even "comics-batverse" one day) without having to create a hierarchy with subcategories myself.

However I've been waiting for quite a while now, and it doesn't look like they are about to implement that any time soon. Meanwhile, some of my general tags have over a hundred entries and can't even be fully displayed with their moronic interface. (Curse you LJ!)

So, should I cave and subdivide my tags tags containing predefined subcategories, i.e. create additional tags like "comics recs", "fanfic recs", "book recs", "comics squee", "comics scans" etc., to break up the tags with many entries?

I'm contemplating exactly the same question re: tags.

I keep finding better things to do.

The problem is that if LJ should never fix this, my approach to tags will be very unusable soon and reorganizing also gets worse with time, since LJ *also* lacks a bulk editing feature for coveninent re-tagging. *kicks LJ some more*

I picked yes, less for the "it doesn't hurt" rationale than for the, "Yay, procrastination!" thing. I am rife with procrastination today. I'm even procrastinating from my usual procrastinating methods.

Yes, I can identify with that very much. ;)
