I'm actually a bit pissed off as I have to write this post a second time after I was hit by a timeout of the forum when finishing it the first time... :(
@TheGuyKnownAsAndersOlsson: Welcome back among the living, or are we rather the walking dead? I wonder how many TheGuyKnownAs-Logins we might get...
@Daid: Although I'm seriously concerned about the consequences your posts may have for you, Ultimaker and this community, you have my full respect. Let's hope it helps to push things into the right direction.
I'm actually worried about the fact that R&D people were apperently ignored when this forum was set up. This is very different to the spirit we used to know about within Ultimaker, where everything was feeling like in a big family.
However, R&D people were not the only ones to be ignored. I remember having expressed my serious concerns about gamification of the forum. Others were with me. Well, I cannot feel other than having been ignored.
I'm not a software engineer. This helps me to watch all this from a certain distance without having the feeling to know better. Maybe it also helps to be Swiss and therefore neutral... ;)I think we are at the point where we all will have to give UM a serious and realistic chance to improve the situation. On the other hand I expect UM to loose not one hour for chasing the solutions. If they fail within reasonable time - others might be more competent to define such a time than me - I would support an inofficial Ultimaker forum. I hope this is a fair deal.
