Been evaluating several crm which can be hosted on-prem in private cloud environment and for the purpose and needs that I have, it felt that Vtiger was a good choice. Until I started to take a deep dive into the community edition and how well the online commuity forum was working (or lack of it...) But, it seems likely that Vtiger will go fully commercial sooner or later based on how they're more or less hidding away the community edition of Vtiger including that their online support forum is almost deserted, and there's little effort to keep it active, which is unfortunate.

Given this situation, is it time to consider forking Vtiger to revive its user base and community? This would, of course, depend on whether there is enough support from both the user base and developers, as this can't be a one-person effort. It's truly a pity that a platform initially driven by the community is becoming more closed-source with minimal updates.

Just thinking out loud here to see if there is an interest in yet another fork of a CRM system.
