It has been 10 years i have logged in here. I see like Kopitiam thread is the most active. Other threads seems basically dead. you can see my user. I am long user of here. However, I see like the forum most bottom of it mentioned that
"Most users ever online was 138,073 on May 2 2025, 05:17 AM". i think most of it probably are bots..

Im join lowyat since 2006.. its 19 years ago.. im so old already..

Ruuuudeeeee!

It will be great if Lowyat can introduce the BLOCK function here

The amount of low IQ attention seeking trolls here is a pain in the ass, very desperate for engagement it seems

Kopitiam more happening
Can troll

Have u guys 1st in Ukeke thread posts yet ?

Many times liao

stumble upon lyn when doing an uni assignment on web development back in 2003

prnh got scammed from lelong for a cpu during its launch, when the auction feature was introduced in Malaysia

reg an acc here just to buy something in garage sale, most my diy 2nd hand pc parts are from there.

Totally agree

ukeke

lowyat exist before the time of socmed. theres where people has migrated nowadays

referral (invite code) required

Gen Z is not here because they have no invite Code.
Why restrict behind invite code wall ?
If orang gila many dupes also its traffic for advertising

can invite Chester Cheng or Ryan Go Where to cover

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

I believe mostly here if not 50 years old also 40+

no i still login everyday

Yes, we got so many bots here, CCP bots, AMDK bots, sinki celup bots, etc.

lowyat forum especially kopitiam is a place for medical diagnosis, trends, accidents, goreshit etc etc.

revive back caturday and funy pictures tered

I was here since 97 , but during 2010 got stupid mod keep banning me, end up changing 10 account

Last time got semakguy

after whatsapp... less people wanna use forum

Yes

Cant deny that

simple logic actually

when LYN was hot back then, most of these kids are in college.

25 years later all become uncles aunties already

Goes to show how psychotic some are. They belong in tg rambutan.

u attract the wrong kind of dupes misusing the code, later play RNR issues then fami and the gang come and shut down for good then how?

we have see that happened before with autoworld.com.my non reno talk subsection-the whole forum kena delete for good.

Everyone is SUSed, don't know when is my turn.

Pfft, 2005 is not old. Only Jan 2003 account can call themselves old

Everyone else in n00b

Most of us are bots

anyone remember polaris. that was peak kopitiam

Reddit is the future

add one more gift option. only then tiktok will stay relevant in another 10 yrs. owai.

Wheres tat semakguy now?

getting boring

everyday CCP, Bharat, USA tereds

full with wumaos tereds and posts

Actually the admins and mods are partly to blame.

Last time so fucking strict, u say words like tunaseng also kena ban.

What a dumb fucking era.
Then go ban people until force to open another forum to compete with lowyat, I csnt remember the name

Here got a better balance of liberals and conservatives and most of the wumaos are now gone or changed their stance somewhat. Few years back it was much worse.

what is forum? now use reddit and thread

people there quite woke and stupid. most of them are teens and early 20s.

LEL KEK
no new blood lah

Probably web scraper.

Looks like I'm old, haihhhh

Yes. Gila kuasa mods and their konco still keep bora active people to their liking.

This is the reason. Although users are down, they go suspend even more.

I`m on X

Fun fact! Ayam did survey and 99% populasi lowyat is......

Male! Haha

Isnt now new register need code ??

reddit is for losers

Lowyat forum best

Full racism allowed

Meanwhile fb, insta, tiktok etc. Is just unofficial racism

just look at LYN Book Club, last post being a year ago and the one before that two years prior

Ya, ban nvm can still accept , they make you Bora Bora

Sikit sikit derail to politic

then u got cybertrooper from both side of political party

Goldfries la. Go and ban everyone non stop.

They brought this to themselves.

Tuna Singh? Ban....

Golfries is the mod?

then u got mod suka suka move thread to sports channel

i remember got people buka badminton tournament thread, then immediately move to sports channel. Plenty of the sub channel is dead for good.

people now just use the other forum. some private subs there are very nice, civil discussion.

Damn we are old

created alot of dupes, now dupes become OG

there is a resaon why mods have been movingg tereds to other section....

anything remotely related, they toss over in hopes of boosting traffic there

Dead because no oldman spam 20+ tered a day anymore.. ohwai~~~
