Sure, not everything went as expected.
That said, plenty of people are still having a hard time and many are at least a little ticked off. The results and aftermath of HF20 reminded me of this photo that I took a couple years ago for a photo contest that @jamtaylor had ran. The photo was based upon a "matrix-like" scenario and was originally titled, "There is No Fork."
I thought that it also may be a good illustration for how reality does not always line up with expectations... ahem, Hardfork 20.
HF20 MEME CONTEST
This opportunity to get your HF20 aggression out will be in the form of a meme contest. In fact, if you want to use any of these images for a HF20 post, you are more than free to do so, just credit @papa-pepper as the photo source.
So, what are the rules? Like usual, they are simple. Just take a FORK image from this post and make a meme out of it. You can use sites like https://imgflip.com/memegenerator to make your meme, or just edit it in paint and upload the results. Reply to this post with your HF 20 meme to officially enter, but you are free to make a post featuring your meme if you want to.
The contest will run until this post pays out, and I'll select some winners from the entries that I receive prior to that. The big winner will receive 20 STEEM in honor of HF20, with runner ups being rewarded with a smaller quantity. Have fun, and I hope that this will help you vent if you need to!
Also, you do not have to be angry to enter. Anyone is free to participate and you can even make funny memes instead of angry memes, or just pretend to be angry for the sake of the contest. Options are limitless, so get creative and have fun! By entering my contest you are giving me full permission to use your entry however I see fit.
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:
proof-of-forks
Until next time…

I found the whole thing educational. I learned some new terms:
Using a hard FORK for an UPgrade is called a FORK UP.
A major upgrade with a hard fork is called: A MAJOR FORK UP.
As for the meme. I asked myself the question. Where does one send silverware to polish off its education?

I DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE FORK IT WAS ALL ABOUT
Not enough information and when I was told ..it was not even the truth..So what the fork was going on? It is important to tell all steemians. Even minnows.

In a nutshell...
This isn't really a MEME as much as it's a historically accurate timeline of what happened... I'll try to come up with something more clever and less depressing when I've fully recovered from this epic disappointment.
