    Short answer, it doubles because it is a single word title.

    As you can see on /f4/ here,

    <meta name="keywords" content="General,Discussion,General Discussion, SEO, vbulletin search engine optimization, search engine optimisation, search engine friendly forums, vbulletin seo" />
    It first splits the title into individual words, and then places the entire word as 1 phrase next. Since your forum is a single word, there's nothing to split so it shows up twice.

    I wouldn't worry about it. Meta tags have limited value now-a-days.
