According to someone from Datadog, this was generating tags like "knowledgeable_
people_who_put_this_course_together._this_is_harvard._you_can_t_tell_us_there_s_
a_shortage_of_editorial_talent." They say that they can handle tens or hundreds
of unique tags but not thousands. Given that we have a unique URL for each
thread, we can't even use that as a tag. Thus, all tags are removed for now
until we can determine whether there is a useful set of tags with small enough
cardinality. In light of this, I did not investigate why the long tag mentioned
above was being generated.

The LMS comment client previously would try to parse the response
as JSON, choke, and return a 500 to the client. Now, the LMS client
displays a message indicating that the forums are down for
maintenance.

Now that we're ready to test again, need to revert the revert to put the filtering UI back in.

This was merged too early--it's still missing the filtering and display-your-cohort changes.
Will need to revert this revert later.
