It seems like there's an active effort to make bitcoin's testnet fork to BIP101. As seen on reddit:

We have activated BIP 101 on the testnet. The hashpower there after activation is now less than the non-BIP 101 hashpower. This makes for an interesting test. If you would like to help gather data, please run the BIP 101 client of your choice with -testnet and keep the debug.log file to share for data analysis later. The more nodes the better! Transaction spam is welcome and encouraged Smiley

What's interesting is that the hashrate that's causing seems to be coming from a single participant.

How does this affect Bitcoin?
Is it possible to create a new testnet if they fork it?

It's not a problem. When the first large block is created all other participants will reject this block.

Really, how likely is it that they'll be able to achieve 75% of the total hashing power on the testnet?
