What's the difference between an official fork and an unofficial fork?

Watch this project fail in X months because the project owners care more about publicity than work.

That is a bad thing to say. We need help, its a huge project. Its not just rewriting a few lines of code, there is a whole infrastructure behind the software we need help in setting up.

Then why say you guys are official and remove credibility from all the other forks? I know that's not your intention but you used the word official because "these idiots on the Internet will pay more attention to us"
