Thanks for the replies everyone!

 I am new to crypto and it has been exciting to say the least. However, quite confusing at times. I was initially under the impression that the fork was "official" from seeing a few different online posts/articles. They all stated pretty much the same information. I found this thread which I think has given me enough information. It doesn't look like I am going to miss out on anything of value regardless of where my coins are lol.
