Forums > Living in Kunming > GoKunming feedback... Go Kunming is a useful resource. The forums, like most forums, has a certain level of toxicity; that goes with the territory.
I think the site is a little dated, but perhaps this is about the way social media use has changed. A few years ago forum threads where how some groups kept in touch. Now many people set up group chats on Wechat. Perhaps forums are less relevant than they used to be for many people. I also think that many of us have accessed previously difficult to access forms of social media back home, and can meet our social needs that way; more easily than before.
All of the above are factors in reduced traffic on the forums.
I think the future for Websites like Gokunming is less in forum traffic, and more the other content including classifieds, articles, and listings.
But what do I know.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Short term storage help I remember a discussion with my Chinese wife about this gap in the service industries. She thought it a not so smart idea that people would not use because of theft. Not just break in, but collusion between security guards and local criminals (seen that and been the victim once). Most locals have family with property, where they can leave stuff if they need to vacate a place.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Civilized Kunming I think a dictionary might be a good start for the basic meanings of the words. I am not trying to be facetious here btw
Forums > Living in Kunming > Civilized Kunming "...civility and 'civilization' aren't necessarily the same thing. Yeah, this could be a matter of splitting hairs..". @Ishmael, you are correct, and this is definitely not a case of splitting hairs, they are two different things that are not always directly connected. When people treat the words as synonymous you get all sorts of unhelpful arguments surfacing.
