The Hard Fork prevented the MAJORITY of the blockchain from actually participating on the blockchain - SUCCESS! Well, that's @ned's completely clueless point of view.
This level of ineptitude reminds me of Project Managers who mark tasks as completed when there were 50 business requirements included in the task, but only 5 were successfully rolled out.. The System was rolled out, so we're complete, right!? NO! The damn thing doesn't work the way it was meant to!
It's a good thing we're still in Beta....
Note: This post had more useful images and comments about the development failings from this "upgrade", but I needed to remove them due to the considerably higher cost (and more time) I would have needed to spend waiting to post...
EDIT on 9/26: It was more than 24 hours between the time I started writing this post and the point when I was able to post. If a technology team feels that this is a successful rollout of a new system "patch", I shudder to think where the line of "failure" sits..
