It would be nice if the forum could have a news feed of all official Bioware statements so that those of us who don't use social media could be kept appraised of what's going on. It shouldn't be a big ask for the studio to use their own forum as a primary communication tool at least on par with Twitter.
Can we have an answer please ?

They have this on the Old Republic forums, they call it the dev tracker. It's simply a chronological list of all posts made by anyone with the Bioware tag.

Anyone ever think that the reason the BSN went batty was because Bioware just stopped caring about the forums?
If I didn't know better, I'd say you must be new here.

I haven't seen anything in the game that is so game breaking that it needs an emergency patch. I'd rather they took their time and did it right then rush a patch out which would wind up breaking something else.

So they create a forum for feed back and don't read them ? Crazy.
Well, not saying Bioware folks don't READ them. In fact, occasionally Twitter or Tumblr posts indicate they are trolling on the periphery. But they certainly refrain responding to anyone very often.

You may not have seen it. Others have.
Paying $$ and see your game crash is an emergency in anyone's book.

Except for people who have loved ones in the hospital or who have lost their jobs, I suppose.

As best i have ever been able to tell,
Forums are used by game makers to give the disgruntled a place to vent.
Then the Fan Boy's jump on the disgruntled and tell them how wrong they are.
then the Disgruntled vent some more. And so on, and so on.
But I don't really thing the Game makers ever actually look at them.
Maybe they have some one report on the most talked about game desire, ( as in number of post's ) number of view's.
But other than that they don't care. It is just a PR move to give the players a place to vent, and defend, and nothing is ever resolved here.

Not quite true. Bioware is responding to game playability issues. They prioritize them and fix those that are deemed "fix now" types. Then move down the list.
The Question is how long will it take?
I'd like to point out that fixing problem A and breaking something else is NOT a good idea. We have seen examples of say, anti-virus companies that bricked their customers' PCs with their patch.
