Yes, and look at how much of a shit show that thread is.
We don't want threads to turn into an absolute mess like Ecchi Sensei due to multiple chapters/specials/etc, which is why specials get their own thread, and prequels/sequels get their own thread.
Different title, different mods needed, different translations needed, can be played as a stand alone version, so new thread.
I know I'm incredibly late to reply, but somehow I missed the notification that my post was quoted.
While there are problems with games like Ecchi Sensei (though that game with multiple versions of the same game content, isn't quite the same as the situation here), the problem with the new approach here is that this will not only lead to people asking where they can find the rest of the story (as evidenced in this thread), it will also be confusing to everyone, because despite claims to the contrary, it goes completely against the way this stuff has been handled before.
That may well be the case in the future. We have an upcoming overhaul to the site which is currently not compatible with games which branch off with different versions/chapters. The current method of hiding everything behind spoilers isn't sustainable as it becomes harder and harder for new users to understand that mess. If we can figure out a method of cleanly integrating chapters with the upcoming update I have no problem with merging the threads; until then they're staying separate.
Given this later explanation that an upcoming update would make the old way, of keeping several chapters in one thread, difficult, everybody has to accept and understand that, so I wonder why all these other attempts at justification were even necessary.
Or the way some of the mods here acted as if the people wondering about what was going on were being complete idiots and as if stuff had always been handled this way.
