I'm using the standard drupal forum modul. It is possible to add a cck field to the Forum Post but it is not possible to extend a forum (without coding).

In Advanced Forum, is it possible to add a CCK Field to a forum? I would like to add a Content Taxonomy Field to the forum to tag the parent forum. Later I would like to filter forum posts according to their parent terms saved in the content taxonomy field.

No, forums aren't nodes and only nodes can have CCK fields attached. In Drupal 7, I believe taxonomy terms are fieldable so that will change then. But not for D6.

Thanks for this information!

Sorry for asking again:

Do you know a possible solution for my scenario? I would like to add tags to forums and then find all forum entries whose parent forum has a specific tag in views. I'm willing to code. But adding taxonomy to non-nodes seems to me quite tricky.

The only thing I can think of is use something like the term auto node module to make a node for each taxonomy term. Beyond that, no idea. You might want to ask in the forums.
