It doesn't serve as much purpose as most other tags when it comes to searching.
What are you searching for when you search for yuri? At least a relationship involving two women.
What are you searching for when you search for time skip? An indescript amount of time separating a present to a future, which will vary in swaths of time from weeks to years. Occurs somewhat uncommonly in doujins? This tag won't suddenly make you enjoy what you've read (and you're searching to find stuff you'd like which a time skip doesn't fix if you dislike everything you read beforehand). Sure, it fit a few things, but we're not tagging just because it fit (we're not a -booru) as it's supposed to inform the user in a more meaningful way.
Dumb joke tags started with me, and continue because we're not against them. I was asked if I was for or against time skip and I voted against. The tag system isn't clean, pure, or not full of hypocrisy, but it works well enough for what we're intending it to do. We do take user suggestions (hell DrP waited 3 weeks for someone to fight for the tag but no dice... until now?), but the end say remains within the staff.
If we do decide to reinstate the tag, we'd definitely have to put a more strict definition on it than nothing at all.
