Would someone be kind enough to explain if there is such thing as a hard fork proof coin?
I mean what if a coin doesnt want to have any forks? Especially privacy concerns and hacking concerns due to unauthorized forks?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks for the information you provided! There are too many altcoin fork from BTC!

I haven't looked over this list in some time. What have I missed? I'd appreciate it if others could help me update/maintain this thread. Feel free to shoot suggestions my way.
Wow..I didn't even know these many forks have taken place this month. The only use of it is that users would get informed of the forks that have took place. So you get free money for this,and am I the only one who literally has lost all his hopes in the bitcoin forks as most of them have turned to be rather useless. I don't find any use to its cause. Saddening reality check

. Here an other upcoming fork:

Thank you very much for the information, added. Seeing that there are so many forks of bitcoin intentionally splitting off the main chain it would be useful to get responses like this in order to update the OP. Bitcoin Interest

But do all these forkers care to explain to users how to exactly claim all their forked coins? Whithout possibly being ripped of their BTCs of course.
ZClassic and Bitcoin are having a baby: Bitcoin Private. Fork in mid to end of January. So you get 1:1 for each Bitcoin you hold AND each ZCL you hold. This should get interesting!

I added all the forks I had in the OP to the table and ordered them. I'm now looking through the suggestions in the responses here.
Does anyone here know details about Bitcoin Atom and Lightning Bitcoin? I didn't find dates of block numbers for a snapshot doing a quick skim over their websites.

Hello, some people say the upcoming segwit2x is a scam one, they put their arguments in reddit pages.
Do you have any information about segwit2x fork?
If it's not a scam fork, how will we claim our b2x coins after the fork happen? Thanks!

And now for a shameless plug:
I'm available for bitcoin and cryptocurrency related article writing and content creation in general. If (amid anything crypto related) the topic of forks is something anyone could use written content for then I'd be eager to work for that.
Lightning Bitcoin was at 499999

Many splits, the price of BTC is down. I like this. BTC is expensive, not good to use. HI
Thanks for all the information. I don't like the forks, but don't sent money to garbage. []
all bitcoin forks is only try to give some solution for bitcoin problems
but they are very risk investment

The split is getting to frequent lately. I think something should be done to address it.
In an open source community what can be done about it? The only thing I can think of is the right to the use of the name Bitcoin.
enforce the trademark!
make them re-brand.
they're all garbage. bitcoingold? a fuckin zcash rip-off.
it's such disgusting business practice, bordering on scamming. they are playing on people new to the space that don't know the difference.
am i saying bitcoin is the best? no....but come up with your own brand for christ sake.
A trademark wouldn't stop forks.
Thanks for sharing this great info man. Although i am not a big fan of segwit2xs or har forks, i really am very intrigued/curious on how many segwit2xs/hard forks will ever be listed in this thread. Also, seeing the thoughts of the people in this community about the new segwit2xs/hard forks would be pretty great to witness. That is if thoughts about the alternative coins are allowed in this thread.
Anyways, i have added this to my watch list. I hope you do not get tired of uodating this list unlike other people promising to maintain updating a specific thread about something and then forgetting about it later on.
Again, thanks man.

Thanks for the info , can you suggest which one is the best ? I plan to hold some bcc , hope it can replace ETH at first then replace BTC some day . 
i'm really getting sick and tired of this. who owns the god damn trademark? it should be enforced and make them rebrand. at the least it is terrible business practice.
I have created a website where I try to keep track of all these forks and how Bitcoin holders can benefit.
You'll find it at btcdiv.com
You call also check any Bitcoin address for the amount of Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Byteball, Bitcore and Clams that can be claimed.

I am yet to know why bitcoin is coming up every time endless number of splits can anyone just decide to have a fork of bitcoin. I was thinking bch will be the last when the split occurred.
is it reallt necessary to do such forks?cant btc really upgrade without forking?this being a bad habbit by the developers it must stop soon.
thank you, useful.
Thanks for making the list 
Seriously though, it is getting absolutely ridiculous how many forks there are for bitcoin now. Everyone's trying to cash in while they can

alani123, thanks for sharing this.
Please keep it updated as long as you have time to do it.
I guess more forks will come in the future.

You can add BitcoinFile, fork on the 25th December. It is on the same date that Bitcoin God. It is about file sharing. They are making a Bitcoin fork for each currently existing technology...
One like ETH, one like Zec, and so on... Which one is going to replace Bitcoin?

I've added a table to the OP. More to be comming soon into this thread. The topic of forks seems to be all over recently.
SegWit 2x coin is finally coming to life! lol 
I can't be sure if this is a high-jack of the wannabe NY bitcoin agreement's brand name but it most definitely does seem like it. Its ticker is B2X, and is now trading on Yobit as futures. Added.

I've added bitcoin Atom. This one doesn't seem to have a date or block number announced but I'm putting it up for information reasons anyway. Perhaps I should add a table and more fields.
Bitcoin God added. It does become boring moving coins to wallets eligible for claiming coins indeed. I missed all those forks in the list that have happened already... hehe
On the other hand, most of them seem to be happening from Chinese developers. Is it now that ICOs were banned that forks might take part of the heat? Some were particularly esoteric to Chinese traders and bitcoin users with only Chinese supported and adoption just through China only exchanges.

You can add it Bitcoin God, Chandler's Guo (a big miner in china) fork that he will release "as a christmas present for all bitcoin holders")

Whatever, im just letting these forks sit for the time being, too lazy to have to move coins each time I want to access a damn fork. I will dump them all eventually.

Not to be confused with Bitcoin Jesus, Bitcoin God is an actual alternative form of Bitcoin which will be created on December 25th. The goal is to introduce this fork at block height 501,225 on the Bitcoin network, which is expected to be mined around Christmas Day. Given that Bitcoin’s mining difficulty will increase in a few hours from now, that date may be off by a few hours or even days. It all depends on how many miners will stick around.
The news regarding Bitcoin God is brought to us courtesy of Chandler Guo. He doesn’t appear to be the main creator of this fork, though, as he simply shared a message from a chat conversation explaining this concept to non-Chinese Twitter users. There are a lot of different opinions about how Bitcoin should operate, and the Bitcoin Core camp is shrinking pretty quickly, by the look of things. So far, though, none of the hard forks have even made a dent in Bitcoin’s overall market position.

The best one is BitcoinX in terms of name, Super bitcoin is the worst one 
It seems this is just a beginning. We may call only bitcoin forks as (alt)coins in the future rather than other coins.

I hadn't found an up to date list of all intentional bitcoin hard forks. Many of them seem to be coming out recently and a list would be useful.
The list below is a work in progress:
