-There is also no live chat client interface on the official forums, whereas unofficial sites may have their own VoIP servers or IRC chat.
-Sites like Reddit have features that the official forums do not. The live Nexus light bonus thread is one example.

Those are reasons just off the top of my head.

He got info about where he could better find what he was looking for. I think his thread on these forums helped him out in that respect.
