Thanks, good work.
My wallet wouldn't sync until I popped a block, last block with 8MH (still) was 2 hours ago until now when I popped it. Scrypt chain on 290149 with 15MH, with diff at 69K. X11 on 290513 with diff of 1.89 (200-220k?).

I won't pop anymore blocks, unless the need arises.  I wanted to check the chains against each other with an "official" explorer to confirm 2 chains exist. This way everyone knows that the chain that's moving is the correct chain, and the chain that takes hours to advance is not the correct chain.

Whenever a coin forks two chains always exist, in this case the coin was forked by design to switch to x11.  Mining the wrong chain is simply unproductive, those coins will never be "real" no matter how hard you keep trying.  This is not a bug or anything the needs to be fixed.

Thanks BitSmacker for additionally confirming this as I was getting ready to post.
I had to pop blocks to advance the chain. That wasn't my concern getting paid for the post-fork blocks, without checking, I think I mined 6-7 blocks on the wrong fork? I found an anomaly which still exists but after checking up on a few more things, I see everything is/will be ok.
