History of BBQCoin

Here's the current situation, as of October 2013:

After the original developer, Cubox, abandoned the coin, a few people got together and started to update the client. This happened about 6 months ago, as you can see from the thread linked above.

It seems CaptChadd tried to fork BBQCoin; he didn't get any input from the community, nor from any of the other developers, and so his attempt was rejected. I had CaptChadd on ignore but forgot why until I read the following thread and realized (again) that it's because he's an idiot: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=198329.340. His thread is a joke: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bbqcoinorg-official-thread-198329. The thread doesn't contain any useful information in the OP post and it helps nobody.
