1) Many first-time (or only-time) posters with questions don't bother to check the board's database. It may be that they link to the message board instead of the main page and don't think or know to search prior to posting a question.2) Most other name meaning sites are of questionable quality and contain some (or much) inaccurate information. BTN takes a scholarly approach to documenting name meanings. While BTN posters will sometimes engage in speculative conversation if no one knows of any etymological documentation, these discussions are typically based on Greek or Latin word roots, history, etc.
