according to this site there has been 667 forks in total, 3 of which belong to this month alone.

And more than 2/3 of them are tagged as dead.
The whole copy-paste coinmania should really end.

It's one thing to build a coin from scratch but a copy of bitcoin where you just change the timeblocks and size it's useless.
I honestly don't see any reason for those coins as BTC with a simple change of code could replicate them.

My God, I can't believe there are 677 forks already. It seems that there's nothing wrong with forks. Let's continue buying bitcoin. Forks only make bitcoin perfect. Do you think that's true? Cheesy

There were 667, as I said above.
And forks are not making bitcoin perfect. Their failures are making BTC more trustable.
