I mean, really, what's the big deal? They use social media for these kinds of things because social media is popular and widely used (and has more potential to grow their user base than a forum which can only be used by current users). I mean, I get that you don't like social media, and I don't really like it much either. But it doesn't hurt you to exclusively use it to participate in these contests, which is exactly what I do. It's pointless to protest because it's essentially ingrained into society at this point.

Think of it this way. When they run a contest on twitter, some people who don't currently play the game may see it, and go "Wow, that game is still running? They're doing contests? Maybe I should check it out again."

The short of it is probably that I'm just that "old and grumpy" (perhaps a little bit stubborn too), and much dislike most things that one might call "Web 2.0".

I'm definitely not saying they should not do these things via social media at all, but I'd very much like it if they'd also use these here forums at the same time (at least while we still have these forums at all...).

Nah, you're not. It used to be OK when it was initially created for contacting old friends and such and sharing photos. Then it lost the plot: newsfeeds started appearing, current events, politics, the 'oh look at my wonderful life photos' (when I knew their life was far from it), adverts, pictures of peoples dinners, pouting, and cats.
Realised that after an amount of time it was slowly killing my brain cells, so I removed myself from all of it.
