I understand where those abbreviations can be useful in an IM but I see them of little use for a message board. People should not be rushed into typing a message, or use extensive abbreviations for that matter. I take my time to write out everything and check for spelling, I may have the odd mistake but I'm generally proud of my gramatical skills. Besides, others are going to read it and not everybody understands the lingo, it's frustrating trying to decipher what someone is trying to say.
