On May 26, 2012, Kaskus management was forced to change their domain from .us to .co.id because of errors on the Domain Name System (DNS); a rival forum named Selapa took advantage of the DNS error, redirecting the old domain to their site. In 2012, Kaskus management developed their forum engine officially called Kaskus 2.0, called the New Kaskus by Kaskus's users.

Some threads and posts could not be transferred to the new engine, so Kaskus management decided to keep them accessible through the vBulletin version of the forum (called Old Kaskus by the users).
