Yeah I’m far from a expert but I do remember that fork. That sounded awfully similar to the ETH / ETC fork.
Around blocksize if I remember correctly.

Generally when people are talking about “hard forking” they are referring to the majority making a backwards incompatible change that leaves little activity or economic value on the original chain. Bitcoin never forks like this, because who would coordinate it?
Bitcoin core maintainers tried to fork it and were not successful (See bitcoinXT).
Miners and community leaders tried to fork it and were not successful (see bitcoin cash).
Bitcoin exchanges and businesses tried to fork it and were not successful (see segwit2x).
And many more will come, I imagine a PoS fork will inevitably come and not be successful.
