Shipmates. It's time to test the "Everything Else" limits again* 

Since a certain massive Bangkok related group has chosen to self destruct, what are your favourite places to ask general questions about Bangkok and/or Thailand? 

Cheers for any pointers! 

*If it's off, I apologise - and please delete with extreme prejudice.

They get angry if someone gets hold of new new information before they do and often block because of that.

Well, Rob. I don't quite agree with that. I've helped and been helped many a time around there. But it's just technically broken now. And for a long time.

Thing is. On web the make-a-new-post thing is broken. On mobile it sort of works. But you can only make a listing. Not make a general post. Been like this for months. So I asked an admin what they're trying to resolve it. And he basically told me to fuck off.
