"<p>The question was migrated because the specific question of \"<em>How do I tell if my Thermistors are 10k or 100k?</em>\" is going to be best answered by users of Electrical Engineering SE. This also provides the SE network with more appropriate traffic based on the question at hand.</p>\n\n<p>However, if the qu... | [

179 | <p>I originally posted this on Meta StackExchange to judge whether my thoughts fit within SE and have been redirected back to our Meta.</p>
<p>We've received a few questions along the lines of purchasing references since we've opened in Beta. While I personally don't think direct questions about "<em>What is the best ... | [
"<p>I've seen a few questions in the past week or so of people asking questions that would fit under the printer-review or buyer review tags you've suggested.

182 | <p>Following this <a href="https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/questions/2617/decent-cnc-control-software-for-osx">issue</a> I would like to propose to allow general CNC related questions here as well. 3D Printers are CNC machines, they only add instead of subtract. 3D printers use G-Code, just like CNC milling machin... | [
"<p>As has been discussed previously <a href=\"https://3dprinting.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/147/hobbyist-machine-questions-on-topic\">here</a>, the relevance of CNC questions on this site depend on the questions closeness to 3D printing.

196 | <p>In past few months, there are a devastatingly few number of users that cast up votes, and many of users aren't coming back to site, and existing users don't have so much reputation, because no one is voting up great questions / answers.</p>

197 | <p>I'd like to talk about site building a little bit. We have now been in public Beta for almost a year now and I feel that we've learned a lot about what audience we have here on Stack Exchange. However, we've got a little ways to go before we can make it out of Beta.</p>

213 | <p>I'll start off on a good note and congratulate everyone in the community for continually supporting each other. We have maintained a great answer rate here on 3D Printing SE with a answer rate of 96%. I believe this rate has been maintained since day one and it's hard to keep up, especially with fluctuations in user... | [
"<p>Hands up, guilty as charged. In my defence sometimes using the answer as given raises even more questions. In mitigation, from the knowledge gained (from helpful folk or simply own stupidity), I now contribute to others starting out. Will try harder.</p>\n\n<p>P.S.

"<p>Great question! 3DPrinting SE attracts a lot of new Stack Exchange network users, which unfortunately can come with questions that don't always meet the Q&A style for the network that this site tries to uphold.</p>\n\n<p>Questions like this are probably best asked in the <a href=\"http://chat.stackexchange.... | [
