Re: Usermap and mChat
I don't understand why they see this forum as "the bad guy"...we aren't "stealing" anyone from them. Everyone here frequents both forums and if anything ...you would think they appreciate that their customers promote their product elsewhere.
Since when is it "bad" to have your customers talk about your product elsewhere around the Internet? I understand their desire for control and all things Ultimaker being "there" but their forum has wrecked the user experience for many. Am I making any sense?

It has proven difficult to explain this to a certain person though. Believe me, I have tried..
So I think we should just try to make the best out of the situation with this forum.
Including a link to the #ultimaker IRC or not, it is up to you.

Re: Usermap and mChat
I'm very hesitant since the first time someone mentions this forum, posts a link to a topic here, he'll get all bent out of shape.

Re: Usermap and mChat
Okay, I certainly certainly see your point there, maybe it is wise to wait and let things settle a bit.

Re: Usermap and mChat
How about mentioning this forum there _before_ having the IRC chat here Sorry, but the little red devil on my shoulder made me type this...

Re: Usermap and mChat
I do like myself a good IRC channel. Since there was never a lot of activity on the chat I just stopped opening it after a while.

Re: Usermap and mChat
Even though many people here are Ultimaker fans I don't see the reason for pointing a chat to an Ultimaker dedicated chat room. I think that will prove confusing if people are talking about other subjects, as the should do on this forum, and flood the #ultimaker chat with unrelated chatter. Just my opinion

Re: Usermap and mChat
I agree with Johan. This forum and especially a chat should be open to any 3D printing subject.

Re: Usermap and mChat
Chat is already in place. Just not an irc style one yet

I have seen this forum primarily as a replacement for the official Ultimaker-forum since almost everyone here used to hang at the old Ultimaker-forum, and I did not expect this forum to grow as popular as it has this quickly, therefore I thought a common chat room would make sense.
The forum becomes much more interesting if it can attract a general public though, and then it makes no sense to use the ultimaker IRC, of course.

Re: Usermap and mChat
Agreed here as well. It is after all called "3d printing forum", not "ultimaker printing forum". Makes more sense to focus on a generic chat. Would be awesome though if there was a possibility to have multiple channels instead of the one, but that can be looked at if it gets popular.
