The following updates have been made:
science fiction,sci-fi,galactica,galactic,watercooler,galactica watercooler, galactic watercooler, forum,bbs,discussion,bulletin board,battlestar galactica,star wars,star trek,matrix,tron,transformers
Any other thots?
How are the meta tags parsed? Would alternate spellings be helpful?
For instance, in addition to “sci-fi”, what about “sci fi”, “scifi”, and (though I dread to even say it) “syfy”?
Perhaps acronyms as well? BSG, GWC, SF, etc.?
How about sci fi book discussions, Firefly?
Good point. We are diverse.
