FIFY
Seriously, though, if he was going to cut out a message board, he chose ours--the one associated with his alma mater (for 2 degrees)--over one where he attended college for only a year or two?
As a terrible parallel, I used to play in 5 different fantasy football leagues, including one with a $250 buy in. That league was my number 1 priority, to the point where I'd turn off my alarm after checking the waiver wire Wednesday morning. Sundays weren't fun anymore - I was consumed by fantasy football.
So instead of cutting out the 4 other leagues, I cut out the one that I was most addicted to and invested in. (Then I quit the FF league after that stupid pro/rel/dibbs junk hit the fan.(unrelated.)) I'm now able to have fun with the game without getting worked up, stressed out, and there's more balance in my life. Quitting the other 4 leagues would not have been nearly as beneficial as quitting the first.
I can't speak for the guy, but I can at least see a very plausible reason to post there and not here.
Also he might just not like us. That's an option too.
