You can have tags without a tag cloud, the cloud is just a visual representation of it.

Quick question: Wouldnt a tags mod be more usefull than just prefixes? It's almost the same concept. Using tags instead would make the forum way more easier to browse. The prefixes we're talking about here are indeed usefull to phpBB.com but tags could make a huge impact for t he better in other com...
