Meet the new forge, same as the old forge. Forge has been forked, with the majority of forge's developers moving over to the fork, NeoForge. They hope to implement some major improvements come 1.21 and maintain compatibility with Forge mods on 1.20.

My bet is something overly technical that nobody cares about, but that it piled up with LexManos' shitty behaviour over the years and became the last straw, making cpw leave. And if people had to decide between LexManos and cpw, they'd rather follow the later, even if the project is under LexManos' control, so they had to fork it. (That's just my bet, mind you.)
And frankly... LexManos is only the lead Forge developer because everyone else left. Forge started from Eloraam (from RedPower), SpaceToad (from BuildCraft) and FlowerChild (yes, that one - from Better than Wolves). Then Eloraam brought LexManos in, Eloraam and FC fought because Eloraam was "your mod has this feature? GOTTA HAVE IT IN REDPOWER 2!", SpaceToad eventually disengaged, Eloraam started focusing more and more on RP2, and... LexManos was left with the grunt job, the modding scene equivalent of the almight janny.
