Exactly that is what the email from coinbase stated. Even though the community leaders withdrew their plans to go ahead with the fork, there may be a small number of miners who may try to go ahead with the fork. That is the reason why coinbase will disable buying/selling and any kind of transactions on November 17th for few hours to protect customer's funds. However, i feel there is no reason to worry because if the fork is not supported by a majority of the miners, it will die a super quick death.

I am sorry? I am so confused right now.

It stated: Segwit2X team has stop the development, but there are groups of small miners are still mining it?

1) So what does this means? As long as theres still 1 miner mining until block 494784, The HardFork will happen? Is this how it works?

2) Therefore, if that happens, meaning the new HF coins will never get updates anymore LOL? since the team already stopped the development i suppose?

3) If the Signalling on the HF is not 90%, how can the HF happen with small miners?

How does Coinbase benefit from this?  They announce they'll suspend Bitcoin trading for a period, so lose commissions/traffic there.  They also state they expect the fork to be unusable.  I dont see what they gain through this action.

Have you read that email completely bro. It states that all the miners and developers are going to stop the project dude.
Most possible very few amount people only involved in this fork and that is expecting to happen in pacific time 6:00 pm i think but not sure.
They will lock the transaction for some hours until that happens. If you need to make any transaction please do as soon as possible for today.

I think there will be madness again this weekend, like last week with BCH, this time with b2x. BTW, on HitBTC too pumping the price of b2x.

yeah when i got this email yesterday all i could do was laugh. Some very small group of miners is still going forward with the fork. Not sure why Coinbase is even bothering with this, it's a dead fork.

Yes, I got the same email this morning from coinbase.

Dear Coinbase customer,

There have been a number of developments with Bitcoin Segwit2x since our last update. No action is required and all funds stored on Coinbase remain safe.

Last week, the Segwit2x development team announced they would no longer continue with the project. In addition, a significant portion of miners and other community leaders withdrew their support for the fork. However, despite these developments, a small number of miners may attempt to go forward with a fork.

We wanted to provide clarity about the potential outcomes of the fork and what Coinbase will do in each scenario.

To protect customer funds, Coinbase will disable Bitcoin sends and receives at 2 am Pacific Time on November 17th, and disable buys and sells an hour before the fork, which is currently predicted to occur between 6am to 8am Pacific Time on November 17th. All functionality will be re-enabled shortly afterwards.

Scenario 1: Network is unusable
If support for the fork remains at current levels or decreases, the Bitcoin2x network will be unusable. Coinbase will not support withdrawals or trading as it will not be possible to move these assets. Currently we believe this is the most likely scenario.

If the network gains support at a later date, we will enable Bitcoin2x withdrawals from the platform.

Scenario 2: Network is usable
If transactions are being confirmed at a reasonable speed and miner support is strong, we will allow Coinbase customers to withdraw Bitcoin2x. We will not immediately enable buys and sells as previously stated, but we may enable them at a later date.

We will keep customers updated through our blog.

Thank you,

Coinbase Team

if you read the Email from Coinbase you can see that they are not claiming anything about any "return". you misunderstood the email actually. they are just issuing some warning which is the safest thing to do when you are running a service like what Coinbase does. you warn your users that there may be some instability soon because of the possible fork.
the group which said they are going to fork bitcoin is mostly a joke but a service like Coinbase needs to take all possibilities in mind.

right now all the hashrate has gone out of SegWit2x and only about less than 7% remains which is probably some servers that need upgrading to stop signaling for it. and when things are like this you can not make a fork.

Dead horse coin

Some of the big pools are doing this to fool small miners, If all the small miners think that any of these forks are profitable and leave bitcoin mining to join other blockchains, You have yourself less competition in mining bitcoin
