Send/Sweep them to their respective wallets as fast as you can.
Not a good idea because the "tools" you would use to claim the shitcoin airdrops are usually quite risky to use. For example there are closed source wallets such as Coinomi which people usually recommend for claiming these shitcoins which is obviously very risky to use since it is closed source. Or the coins themselves could be malicious like the case with BTG that the shitcoin devs released a malware on their official website as the "wallet to use"!This means it is best to first empty the bitcoin address and wait for it get a couple of confirmation then use its private key (which would be empty then) in those shitcoin wallets and do it all in a sandbox not on your main system where you also store/use your bitcoin wallet.

-snip- Pre-fork bitcoins (always in a non-custodial wallet) require splitting to avoid replay attacks.But that attack can still damage you if the "replayed" transaction's output isn't standardized by the other chain, making it hard to spend, non-spendable or anyone-can-spend depending on the script;
so try to use the address type that's supported by most of those forks.
Or course the faster you can send the 'forked coins' to a new address after the first transaction (from any chain), the lower the risk.

if for example in an exchange and a fork happens they will automatically create another address for the coin for example Bitcoin an address for bch is create, for the local wallet I'm not that sure but for example exodus, an address for bch is create and if you have bitcoin, a piece or part of bch will be given to you something like that, try to make a clear question, so that others will not be confused about what you are asking to us.
I don't understand your question. Pre-fork bitcoins (always in a non-custodial wallet) require splitting to avoid replay attacks.
No existence of pre-fork or post-fork bitcoins. Bitcoin is the first and unique bitcoin and other altcoins fork from bitcoin and try to claim they are real bitcoin.You must sweep your bitcoin safely to another new address and then you can apply the guide was given by @TheBeardedBaby to claim forks of bitcoin.
How Many Bitcoin Forks Are There? You will be surprised!!!
Many forks from bitcoin but you must keep your bitcoin safely first by sweep it. Don't claim for any forks before you sweep your real bitcoin.
Here's a guide how can you safely claim your forked coins,if that's what you are looking for.

Which means that the guy was not referring to bitcoins for bitcoin has not been splitted except the Bitcoincash (BCH). It is completely different from bitcoin and as considered as altcoins. Correct me if I am wrong because I am still learning in the world of cryptocurrency.https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/loycevs-bitcoin-fork-claiming-guide-and-service-2836875
However, if there is really a fork on old bitcoins then I would rather be interested to learn about it. In my assumption this guy has btc stored for some time wishes to get it back. And because bitcoin now has different market price it lead to the assumption of bitcoin from the past as an old bitcoin and probably the assumption of becoming a fork to the bitcoin now with different price.
I think I still need to learn a lot here in cryptocurrency. The event nowadays has been very interesting and that is something very worth it to learn especially nowadays that cryptocurrency has been known worldwide. Thanks to bitcoin.

What were they separated for? aren't they now separated in the exchange? and I myself never thought that they could be separated from one another, after all the purpose of being separated was not clear for what purpose.

Can someone describe the steps and software required to separate BCH and BTG from BTC, and also BSV and BCHABC from BCH?
