I still have all thoe coins, but I also have my skepticism since it seems like literally ANYBODY can jump in and make something to be "OFFICIAL", like the last hard fork...
It didn't happen like that. Go back and read this thread. The official fork was decided by the community (and not any one person) with at least one pool taking it in the chin for the greater good. This is a healthy coin with a healthy community. It only needs to survive the panic.
I was here almost the whole time (Ok, I had a sleep and did some more important things, but I checked in regularly and I was active when it really mattered.)
Somebody merely suggested the idea of a hard fork and after that, it was only a matter of minutes until some people (who are not official developers but still have something to do with the coin and thus have pretty loud voices and big tubes to scream through for most of the interested parties) stated that the fork is official and where you can find the informations and even a time counter to be ready (let alone the fact, that the actual fork was based on the block number, and said counter wasn't estimated from block times...). Here comes a sleep and a long driving in bad weather for me, and yah, the fork is now actually official, what a surprise!
