But them directing people here doesn't automatically mean all 'non here' places don't exist or don't matter. The developers would be REALLY stupid to say 'oh but the forums say this so that clearly is everyone even though we see all these other sources saying otherwise'. That'd just be idiotic... but ASKING people to try their best to keep it centralized is still a good idea, even if you use feedback from a lot of places.
They look at the full spectrum, yes - but they are careful about what they pick. Going back to what I said about nitpicking discussions and the like in a post above. Still, the Forums are their best medium. We aren't a minority on the Forums because the CMs bother to stare at the forums since it's their job. Yet, they don't talk with us. Probably because they have to be careful with what things they say or what language they are using.
