I completely agree that the takeover attempt and hard fork was one of the best things that's happened for the chain. It energized the community,gave focus, and resulted in the hf that, as I understand, is much improved.

I hadn't logged into steemit in almost a year, then did so a week or two ago. It's weird. It also seems so old and caught back in time.

For me, I,ve been on Hive 4 years. Before the takeover, I'd drifted away. Then, came back to Hive full force.

I hope the movie that's being talked about comes out chronicling the Hive story.
