i don't understand why people are still stuck to this coin

When it's dead, it
shouldnt not be kept alive any longer, doesn't make any sense.
In my opinion forking it might cause an abrupt, total loss of value to the holders, coin is not worth the risk.
Loss of value not meaning dead coin. Greedy people who get free money dump price auroracoin, but it end soon. Anyway developers working for new solutions and services and its be new life for auroracoin. That will be real value auroracoin in near future. Like bitcoin in past...
