Yes, they are different games. Note how many times in general discussion someone will answer a question and someone else answer different and it turns out the right answer depends on fictional or historical.

If we look at board usage in 23, it can be seen fictional players did not ask questions in the fictional forum. They asked them in general discussions.

Fictional players for the most part did not post about their saves in fictional. They posted about them in dynasties.

The board should adjust to the behavior of users, not try to force some supposedly more elegant, more proper, more whatever solution.
