Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

not so long ago, maybe 6-7 years ago, just before GE, the daily thread used to be very deserted lol, double digit almost every single day. This chat thread does remind me of the calmness the old DT provided me, and hopefully many other people.
if you go even further back maybe 7-8 years ago, the entire sub was a desert, you could post very strange questions like What does everyone do for a living, What is everyone's favourite food etc... HAHHA
I was there for 1500 subscriber - there wasn't a daily thread or anything. I ran across the sub before, but i wasn't active or anything. The meme golden era where meme chains can last days or weeks, the 'we are serious sub, no meme' time, the screaming political posts and comments era (no meme and only serious posts make monyets cranky), and then return of the meme (monday)
one of the time the amount of people spiked was during the ODF debate i think. tech people already on reddit finally found their way to r/malaysia even if they ignored it before.
What’s ODF debate? Open document sth? Google’s saying that’s from 2007?
Damn that’s real old… I only joined at around 2015/2016 when it had around 6800 subs. Remember 10000 being a big event. Reddit never appealed to me cause the UI kinda wack.
From there it snowballed, with the two GEs + Sheraton Move being the biggest user magnet.
Maybe monyet.cc can grow if we weather a few of those events haha
