titled "Abandoned Forum" or "Dying Forum" .... jk

Sadly forums are mostly dead. Everyone has sort of moved to FB, Tik Tok, etc where information is not readily available and you can have back and forth with others in many forums those days. LYN is probably the only remaining sorta active forum in Malaysia due to Kopitiam but all the important sub-forums are mostly dead or dying with only a few members contributing.

Once upon a time there were forums all over the world (and many from Malaysia) to find information and get assistance on practically anything, now its so few and far between.

posting in unker tered

Lowyat Forum is still active, but its level of engagement has shifted over time. While it remains a popular platform for tech discussions in Malaysia, some users have noted a decline in activity compared to its peak years. You can check the latest discussions and trends on Lowyat Forum to see how vibrant the community is today.

Several factors have contributed to the decline in activity on Lowyat Forum:
- Rise of Social Media & Reddit – Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit have become more popular for discussions, offering faster interactions and broader audiences.
- Outdated Forum Design – Some users feel that Lowyat Forum's interface hasn't evolved much since the 90s, making it less appealing compared to modern platforms.
- Shift in User Behavior – Many discussions that once thrived on forums have moved to instant messaging apps like WhatsApp and Telegram, where conversations are more dynamic and private.
- Moderation & Community Culture – Some users have expressed concerns about strict moderation and the forum's unique culture, which may discourage new participants.
- Competition from Specialized Platforms – Tech discussions, which were a major draw for Lowyat Forum, now happen on dedicated sites like Tom’s Hardware, AnandTech, and various local tech blogs.
Despite these challenges, Lowyat Forum still has active discussions, particularly in niche areas like local tech deals and Malaysian-specific topics. Have you noticed any particular changes in the forum yourself?

Thanks @grok
