Site Update
We will be using twitter to make micro news posts instead of updating the news when smaller events and announcements happen. You may want to subscribe to our twitter account to stay updated.
More important posts from the twitter will be posted on this thread. Micropost Announcements. It will not be updated as frequently but should contain anything semi-important but that does not merit a news post.

I don't like this idea at all. I think all relevant information should be accessible here, onsite. Though I guess a Twitter could be used for updates when the site is down/under maintenance/etc.

Well, I'm going to add to those who are against this. It really isn't such a big deal to have a thread for mini announcements, is it? As much as I adore Slash for everything that she does for us, I find the resistance for a compromise on this really unsettling. You ask our opinions on so many other things, why is this different?
I wont be checking Twitter and I really hope said announcements really are 'unimportant'

There's an option. Use it if you desire.

I agree with that sentiment Nemesis 100%. We have the announcement forum. I have to honestly say that the blase tone of Slash's posts have really put me off about my willingness to spend anymore money here. If my participation on the site really matters that little then my money is better spent on the other web sites I frequent.

I like the idea of using Twitter - if anything at all happens to the site and it won't let us log in we know we can check there for any reasons why it shouldn't let us in ^^ I'm content to check it out once or twice a day to see what is happening =)

I -do not- like this. I find it ridiculous and tacky for websites to use different sites to post things about events and announcements and such. We already have the option of selecting which news posts we're notified of here. Transporting news into tweets is redundant and ridiculous.
You could simply add another checkbox to the settings option and name is micropost news and let people decide there whether or not to receive notifications about them. =S
