If nothing else, this will get steem some publicity.
I guess they decided to fork instead of using SMTs on top of the steem blockchain.

Well, that would be cleaner, right?
I dont know what you mean by cleaner?
Well, me either, but if something is "forked" away, it would not be taking the resources of the blockchain and so would let it run better?? We are way over my technical head right now. I will just wait to wake up one day to a whole new steemit world :)
A fork is like a fork in the road...the road to the right isnt necessarily better than the original road that went to the left.
Forking is basically copying the blockchain up to the point of the fork then taking it and splitting it in two...the original keeps going as always while the new one goes off in its directions. Now is the new fork an improvement or not? That depends upon the people involved and what their plan and implementation is . Sometimes it is, sometimes it isnt.
We still dont have an answer with bitcoin and bitcoin cash. Those who blockchains are now running without a clear cut answer if bch really solved bitcoin's problems.
