Just to inform that LYN was featured in "The Edge Malaysia" Magazine (March 2-8 2009 edition). thumbup.gif It was in a pullout entitled "Malaysian websites that we like" where they could only find 65 good websites in Malaysia. They tried to find 88 websites but couldn't do so. sweat.gif

Nice to see LYN getting recognized! smile.gif

i meant the hardware section dude
for the news part..should have been specific

kindda evident dont ya think..
been happening tons..
see it in vr-zone

and somebody will copy paste and quote from vr-zone. after few hours.
and to be more specific
vr-zone will quote from somewhere else

but definately vr-zone as the news thats being quoted is always chronically the same.

The writer would have been referring to the front page of www.lowyat.net. Kinda evident don't you think?

" if ure a tech geek, etc"

btw way this is why i kept telling goldfries
that the hardware section has to have a news section
the discussion forum is really messed up.

The first part of his write up was referring to the forums. And then he says "although famous for its forums, Lowyat also offers news and reviews of products" which is exactly what the front page does. Which goes to show that the writer was referring to our front page when he was referring to news and reviews of products.

well assumptions i guess.

I'm not defending the website, I don't have to. I'm merely pointing out to you that you erred in your interpretation of the write-up.

well if its the mainpage he was refering then probably

but then since

"tech geeks" and "famous for forums" then thats different aint it.

cause nothing really much on the mainpage.
if reviews relating to "tech" say hardware
http://www.lowyat.net/v2/computer-hardware/index.php
http://www.lowyat.net/v2/handphones/index.php
for the last 2 years??

so back to the forum i guess and front page news.

Front page news it is. The front page news consists of reviews from time to time. These used to be archived in the links you had provided when we had freelancers doing them. These days they now feature as regular 'news' articles.

yeah remembered when vijay anand used to write reviews or was that hardwarezone..cant remember

but then just went and saw all the news for 2009..
no product reviews thats featured as regular "news" articles

anyway
ure point is pretty clear

but mine is
other than "news" which most of them looks like adverts and are also some of them or most are from other links..

i still stand with my statement.
this forum could have been better

imagine the amount of hardware that here very own malaysians buy.
we have tons of hardware and heck so much can be done for review by forumer etc.
with actual inhouse retail unit review.

i am just saying that again no malice but it could have been better.

adios.
