Thanks for finding this post. Didn't see it.

Anyway, I suppose it was made at the times when coins101 and few other active community members were still around, so it might have had some sense at the time. I am not implying they would want to keep the old chain with alternative vision, just that they were able to do that if they wanted to.

In any case there is no community members now able and willing to support a meaningless 'classic' fork (that is IMHO). This is not so good for the project (I would have preferred to see bigger and more potent community on this coin now), but at least it assures smooth fork if developer believes he would need to do it.
