A few months later than the original launch which mostly happened on the bitcointalk forum. Of course the bitcointalk forum still exists to this day but the Steem threads are not very active.

It is hard fork 9 to do this which was unilaterally pushed through by steemit voting out all other witnesses, and all of this is recorded on the blockchain.

Lol.
Turnabout coming to bite them in the ass.

If a fork goes forward absent stinc, with proof of brain, and most of the community, what exactly has been taken from stinc that was their's?

They keep the old fork with their coins, their proof of wallet is intact as quick as they spin up some witnesses to run it.
The community can decide which chain to support, we dont belong to stinc.
The new fork has taken nothing that isnt their's.
Let the community decide, i say.
