After my thoughtful and inspiring submission to the Quark reddit was quashed, while other posts encouraging people to abandon their Quarks were approved there, I think I have unravelled the mystery.
This hard fork was no doubt a devious move implemented by those I will now refer to as, the 'Dark Quarkers'.
These 'Dark Quarkers' have assumed control of what little infrastructure is left to Quark, and hatched a sinister plan to let the coin languish without any visible community support throughout the year of 2015. It is likely this plan was hatched well over a year ago.
Right on schedule, a hard fork was issued in the hopes that a few remaining faithful would, as if by habit and little else, update to a version of Quark intended only to make the original Quarkcoin much rarer.
These 'Dark Quarkers' have insider information about when security flaws will be revealed in Bitcoin, meaning investors will be rushing to move their investment to another coin!
However if you have foolishly updated your Quark clients, do not think that you shall share the spoils of Quark's come from behind win.
Only if your Quark client reads 'No block source available..' do you have the greatest crypto asset the world shall ever know!
Embrace the light Quark brothers, if it is not too late..

I like your thinking/conspiracy! But need to see something to back this up, have a quark wallet version "quarkcoin083r2linux", is it worth upgrading or just leaving?
Almost forgot about these, been away for awhile. Was hoping to see them ON the moon or at least on the launch pad by now.
