The modding community has been split into two so many times already.

Well, that alternate mod loader's Java 8 requirement spawned off this whole drama fight.
Lex is a very capable coder, he just needs to learn how to control his emotions in public.
screaming and threatening around like that helps no one, it rather only creates more problems.

honestly, unless it is absolutely terrible, i don't mind some version of something being required, as long as the default download for that thing meets the requirement.(currently, if you go to get java, it gives 8 by default so i don't care )
also, i like how in the beginning 1.7 was this evil monster version that performed horribly and basically ate kittens, and now we want to stay there.(it just seems funny to me)

)I guess the 1.8 case is worse, due to the rendering stuff, and the BlockState and BlockPos are not just annoying to code with but also take up more RAM and more garbage collector timealso, i like how in the beginning 1.7 was this evil monster version that performed horribly and basically ate kittens, and now we want to stay there.(it just seems funny to me

No one ever likes updating. The mod devs don't like the work and players don't like that some mods inevitably get lost along the way.

At least he's honest.
Well now we've collectively tamed that monster is isn't so bad- the amount of work it took to get this far, and we're told 'do it all again for 1.8'
And kittens taste nice.

Lex is the developer of Forge; the only way to replace him is to move to a fork.
It could be added to Minecraft Forkage, or another fork (although I don't know of any) - Minecraft Forkage is my intended long-term-support version of 1.7.10 Forge, based on the deeply introspective philosophy of "1.8 sucks". Unfortunately it's just getting started (and so doesn't have things set up yet e.g. no pre-build binaries; there will be a forum soon), and nowhere near critical mass. Ask me about a PR tomorrow, or if it's simple enough I can just add it myself.
The problem with adding features to forks willy-nilly is that nobody actually uses your fork. Therefore, if your mod depends on the fork, nobody can use your mod - especially the big modpack makers who you really want to use it.
If forking Forge is the answer, then we need lots of people to support one fork.

Forge has changed devs before. Its perfectly reasonable to say it can happen again.
But certainly a 7.10 fork would be a good idea. (heck- it might even get the ball rolling with a bit of good luck)

Modding might actually die out at this rate, we have been losing so many since Microsoft took over and a bunch quit as a result and cpw doing the same thing did not help.

Sounds like something from a fantasy novel.

Modding won't die out.
It'll evolve and change- today's dinosaurs will be extinct in tomorrows world, but there will still be life.
