Add Apocalypse World to the LFG choices search

I know Dungeon World is on the choice list and it is arguably more popular, but Apocalypse World, the original 2d6 narrative game, should be on there as well. It's annoying to have to search through the basic keyword search or Google to find any advertised AW games. It's time that this had its own slot.
This would be very helpful.

As far as I understand, the listing of games is based on what is actively being played or searched for here on Roll20. The more people listing and looking for a specific game in the Looking For Group areas, the better chance it will end up on the list. Here are a couple of posts by the Devs on games that are not on the list: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/324913/new-update-9-slash-4-social-features-player-directory-expanded-player-profiles-lfg-tool-overhaul#post-326878" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/324913/new-update-9-slash-4-social-features-player-directory-expanded-player-profiles-lfg-tool-overhaul#post-326878</a> and <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/324913/new-update-9-slash-4-social-features-player-directory-expanded-player-profiles-lfg-tool-overhaul#post-329808" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/324913/new-update-9-slash-4-social-features-player-directory-expanded-player-profiles-lfg-tool-overhaul#post-329808</a>
I see their points and it makes sense that they don't want to add every board game under the sun. The problem is that it is actually more unorganized trying to find a specific game through the keyword search than adding in more games, which also allows you to narrow by a Key Search. Apocalypse World and Dungeon World are two very different games even though they are based off of the same system. I have seen AW ads on random G+ groups for Roll20 that don't advertise because they don't have their own listing. Labeling games "Other" shoots the games in the foot in terms of search optimization. I'm not advocating for every game to be added, or some slippery slope every time I find a new game, but with the ability to narrow key searches, it seems it could be opened a bit more.
