Because some people only read posts via the “Show Full Post…” button on the bbs, rather than the main site. The group of contributors without forum accounts are posted under @boingboing, & there are no indications of authorship without clicking through to the articles on the main site. It doesn’t look like there’s any sort of technical fix coming, at least in the near term, so people started manually posting credits in the comments.
