Is the myfishing.org Forum Still Active?
Updated
No. myfishing.org is not an active forum. The site itself states that the Malaysia Chinese Fishing Website and Forum (马来西亚中文钓鱼网) is already outdated and that the pages are preserved purely as a historical record for the period 2006–2016. There is no indication of current posting, member activity, or live moderation, so you should not expect replies or updated information.
What the Site Actually Is
myfishing.org was a Chinese-language fishing community and discussion board for anglers in Malaysia. According to the site's own notice, it operated as a place for fishing enthusiasts to exchange information, and it has since been retired. The surviving pages are an archive, not a working community.

| Active period | 2006–2016 |

What You Can and Cannot Do With It
You can read the archived pages as a historical record — for example, to see how Malaysian anglers discussed gear, spots, or techniques during that decade.
You should not rely on it for:
- Asking a new question and getting an answer
- Current regulations, licensing, or local fishing conditions
- Active buy/sell listings or meetups
- Contacting members or moderators
If a search result points you to a thread on myfishing.org, treat it as a snapshot from before 2016. Fishing rules, popular spots, and equipment availability change, so verify anything time-sensitive against a current source.
If You Need a Working Fishing Community
Since the archive cannot respond, look for a community that shows signs of recent activity before investing time:
- Check the date of the newest posts and replies — anything within the last few weeks is a better sign than a forum whose latest thread is years old.
- Confirm that new threads receive replies from more than one person.
- Look for a stated moderation or admin presence, which usually accompanies a maintained site.
- For Malaysia-specific rules and licensing, use official government or state fisheries sources rather than any forum.
The myfishing.org archive remains useful as a reference to the 2006–2016 era of Malaysian Chinese-language fishing discussion, but it is not a place to ask questions or get current answers.
