Quick question, as I am apparently mistaken that these are the official Zenimax forums. Am I supposed to come here for the most up to date information, or reddit, or facebook?

I am of course referring to the fact that recently reddit was updated 4 hours before this forum was with information regarding maintenance times on the game this Thursday. I do not use reddit/facebook/twitter or any other social media site or forum, so this is a bit of a problem for me. People had been asking on this forum for weeks on when the next maintenance would be, so why didn't we get this info as soon as it was available?

I'm not trying to be mean, but I expected that this website would hold priority over outside venues. Does Zenimax not want to give priority to the "official" forums anymore?

EDIT:Here are two threads that show I am not the only one with this concern.
