I am not sure who decides on whether to start a new ANN thread, we would likely prefer to keep this one. I would like to think a duplicate might be perceived as worse than an update, but I cannot speak for the audience here, thus, I would appreciate feedback on this matter.
Creating more than one announcement thread for the same service is against forum rules as it may be seen as spam. Please check this pinned topic:
One thread per site ONLYSure, you can lock this thread, move it to the
Archival board and start a new one but I wouldn't recommend doing this. Better update this topic after purchasing the copper membership. Take a look at other announcement threads on this board to get an idea how it should be done.
The OP can give post snapshots of their website at their first post.
They can always edit it anytime they have updates and developments.
If they will open a new thread, yes, better lock this thread.
But much better if they can just continue this thread as there are some valuable inputs and opinions from the users,
as well as answers from the chipstars team that people can go back and read again.
