I also believe in the success of bitcoin forks. Many of them are highly versatile cryptocurrencies and have a very good chance of success with investors.
As to BTC forks, recently, like in the last year or so...er...no....that ship has sailed IMHO.
If you do know of any, let me know, but BTC forks are completely out of favor now...and provide nothing in the way of return.

I don't think forks are history. Many promising forks are also planned this year. For example, I read on Twitter that Ripple is scheduled to fork. Given the capitalization and mega-community of the XRP coin, I think it will be a big influx of money into the market. There are also some more promising forks.
