2 things wrong w/ tags: You can't subscribe to them, & they are optional. OTOH, every thread has to be in a forum, & I can be notified by e-mail about the new & updated threads in any fora that interest me.

I'm aware of that. That's why I'd go for a dedicated forum (which I'd subscribe to). At the same time I understand the reasons why Jeremy won't do it.
Probably not, but for me it's an interesting topic and having them in one place would be handy for people who want to learn/practise them.
Having said that, I do agree that having a dedicated regex forum could spark off requests for dedicated BASH, python, perl, C, PHP, etc. sections.
LQ not being an strictly programming forum, it makes sense to keep all scripting/programming problems in one bag.
I mean I'd still like to have a dedicated regex section, but it's just for my own convenience.
As my view is not shared by (m)any other LQ members, I think it's only fair to mark this thread as solved.
I'm pretty sure that if this were implemented it would be a sub-forum of Programming, as almost all topics related to regex are programming questions. Either that, or we could also have some sort of special LQ search category (similar to the Zero Reply List) specifically for these kinds of questions, but that would be a bit much.

You'll be able to subscribe to tags, accompanied by the standard notification options, in the near future.
