Rename the "Read ## older comments." button at the bottom of the new-style chapter comments

It's confusing/misleading, as with recently posted chapters, the "older" comments in the legacy forum threads are most likely newer than than the ones in the new-style comments thread.

The wording also makes it sound like clicking it this button will take you to the next page of the new comments section, but what it actually does is send you to the other chapter comment thread.

Should be called "view forums" or "discussions" as @shinya78 said, innit?

Edit: There's definitely some room for improvement.
What I need is:
  • Distinction from the mainsite comments. (Since both are separate things which will be maintained together they should also have at least somewhat different terminology. I think this is the main purpose of this thread)
  • Inclusion of the term "forum" or "discussion" ("forum" makes more sense as it isn't a synonym of "comment")
  • The number of posts/replies in the forum thread (this is already a thing but I just wanna make sure)
I'm going with the suggestion below.

Throwing my hat into the ring with my own post for rename suggestions as that thread is more about having an easy 1-click access to the forums returned.
I suppose...
What matters, really, is to be able to make that distinction. Though simply leaving it as just "forums" would make it weird grammatically, using a noun as a verb. Maybe "Comment 'Here'(placeholder)" and "Discuss@Forums" or something? I'm sure the MD Hive Mind(tm) would be able to come up with better alternatives.
