~Not true forks, the fork talked about is when the previous blockchain is kept along with the balances and public keys.

Quote from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_(software_development)

In software engineering, a project fork happens when developers take a copy of source code from one software package and start independent development on it, creating a distinct and separate piece of software. The term often implies not merely a development branch, but also a split in the developer community, a form of schism.

that is what i am trying to point out. a fork is what the explanation from wikipedia says, nothing more.
and so far people have been forking bitcoin as many times as they could. some of them even gave free tokens (airdrops) 1:1 to bitcoin holders without using the "previous blockchain" for example bitcore (BTX) is like this. it is a fork of bitcoin with SegWit and 20 MB blocks! and they gave 1 BTX for 1 BTC if you could sign a message.

the new way of forking is not much different from the old way, they are practically doing the same and create the same useless altcoins but they use bitcoin blockchain. it just makes things harder for that altcoin because of the size of the current blockchain (140+ GB) but the result is exactly the same as other 667 forks.

I wonder how many of these "big block forks" do we need for proponents to see that the free market does not want bigger blocks.

We have BCash, BTX, B2X futures... they keep tanking, meanwhile 1MB BTC aka real BTC keeps making new highs.

Jeff Garzik and NYA proponents are criminals that should be put in jail by trying to shut the market down by killing the legacy chain.
