alt.fan.godzilla
King of the Monsters!
The fan group for Godzilla and the wider kaiju genre, covering the Toho films from the 1954 original onward, the American productions, and the long-running arguments about continuity, suit design and which era of the series was best.
The group’s one-line description in the Usenet namespace is simply “King of the Monsters!”, which is the sort of charter the alt.* hierarchy produced when a subject needed no explaining.
