Hi,

I've seen you guys are posting links to maps in the Steam Workshop.

But why not to Mania Exchange?
I have the feeling you do not really support the most important community sites. MX offers a much better system than steam workshop could ever unleash. Also, Maniapark is at the moment the best way to download skins and objects. TM-Tube is the only videoplatform dedicated to a game I know. Why not cooperating with all the important community sites, instead of trying to create your own?

Greetings.

Edit: Speaking to Nadeo-

who are the "guys"? NADEO? random users?

we are working on pushing forward exactly the sites you are naming

it was scheduled for the summer, but it got delayed

it's a longer debate, but be sure we are sensible to it

That sounds really awesome! =)

Some kind of steam workshop api so maps can be linked wherever they are uploaded. (for steam and nonsteam users to be connected)

Gogo Maniapsace!

this should not be left aside as not a priority. Community sites enhance the game experience a lot, specially for Trackmania.

I know you don´t have time, so do it simple, put direct links to the main community sites into the game, like when you open a title you see the link somewhere. Maybe do it for the moment and later you see how to improve it. But do it now!

Mania-Exchange, Maniapark, TM-Tube, Mania-Actu

Is it because of legal issues that you don´t do it? Because I can´t understand if it´s not because of it.

For those who remember TMUF:

Did anyone else use the tm exchange manialink to browse, download and upload tracks quicker? I loved it. also, what about a direct replay to Youtube function? Many guys just want to upload their runs to the web, so why mot? The newsfeed could be made different: Subscribe to channels like "ManiaActuCompetition" or "ESL" or "MediaPlanet" so you can choose your own personalized news - Pay planets for each of them every Month (example google news, reddit). The whole wiki could be translated into a Manialink.

Ahh so many cool practical ideas.
