Tags instead of cagetories

I am working on my company project. Basicaly we want to get rid of the categories (I know it is the core of the system, we don't expect it to disappear, but from the user point of view, there will be no more categories) and use a tagging system to organize topics. There will be a multi-level tree of predefined tags, and users can follows certain tags and will only see topics that are tagged with what they follow. It is something like how Quora works at the moment. Each topic will selected to be in one of more tags, and will be visible to all those who follows those tags.
Is there any mod for VB5 that does this?

Do you mean Tags or Thread Prefixes? I'm not sure what you mean by "follow" a tag/prefix though. You may do a Search for a certain Tag or Thread Prefix. You may have several Tags assigned to a thread, but you may only have one Thread Prefix assigned to a thread. There is an option to force a user to assign a Thread Prefix to a thread when they create one. There is no option to force a user to select Tags when they create a thread.
