Is it just me or does it seem like every 6 months someone comes in and 
makes a big deal about nothing, then when the dev team decides against 
them, they threaten to fork?

Forking is not a threat!

If you don't like the direction something is going, the devs don't want 
your work, Fork. Fork and shut up about it. This has to be the longest 
going thread ever. Only because you keep coming back and replying with 
the same thing to everyone's message.
