I think the community has already expressed support for the hard fork, the question is will speculators think confidence in the coin has fallen post fork? If you wanted your money back, you had no choice but to vote yes for the fork. So apparently the majority of the community wants cash, instead of ideological soundness. I'm not knocking it, I would probably want my money back as well, depending on how much I had invested. But speculators are going to ride this like a horse, and the people that are preparing to short this after the fork might just ruin the price. That would certainly explain why the price has been so seemingly propped up as of late.
