Pfft. I don't really mind S2. I'm just saying that because it's funny. To me, at least.
Let me put it in another way. I just checked all the Advanced forum threads. Create-A-Hero is the largest thread in this forum. The closest threads are about half our size.

Yeah... the forum only counts posts for pages, not amount really.
I think the 3 GMs were intending, from the sound of it, on going into S2 at some point. At least that's the sensation I got from when they mentioned a while back about starting another thread for it. So at some point, S2 was about to happen and they chose after the incident with raptorman to do it. Allowing us to move with a fresh start.
In addition, we have about 3-4 players holding off on their PCs entrance because they assume there's going to be a new thread as the GMS, and some of us players already felt it was good idea. Unlike Blood Act, which is actually divided into 3 segments storywise, CAH doesn't have strict or predetermined places to cut off so this thread could technically go on forever without ever having to change into 'S2'.

The downside of a big broad sandbox game where virtually anything is possible, is accessibility.
It's one thing for those of us who have been soaking in this tub for a while... we're used to the temperature, newcomers though? Not so easy.
So it's good to have clear accessible entry points for new players to jump on.
I get that it's a bit of a disruption/distraction for those of us in here (although we try to give enough warning that players not only are not put out, but can even take the opportunity and thrive from the break and brief time-skip) but it needn't be a negative.
Comics and tv get that point of accessibility as well... its why they tend to have clearer points for these breaks where plot elements can easily be described for newcomers to get up to speed.

I, personally (not sure about others), feel going into S2 makes introducing and adding cities like NY and Grant as bigger elements in the world easier since they are mentioned at the start. I'm even going to ask the GMs if I can help with the OP editing and addition of playable cities being listed there so players know their options. Namely as I know a few of us are going to fleshing out and playing in NYC, while I'm keeping Rach in Lost Haven so I can have multiple things I'm involve with. The New Season starts a few months after the current arc which likely means nothing extreme will be happening between the PCs as the cities are recovering from the Pax Arc results with new metahumans population levels. I'm sure NYC will be full of issues, and corrupted order to fix things since then.
You know by saying that you asked.
While I agree that it might be useful to have a list of cities where there are player characters, we would also have to mention that they are not limited to those cities.
