So people can say bye? I doubt everyone that will say bye will have known the leaving Scratcher. If someone wants to say bye to his friends, he can leave a comment on their profiles, and they can see it. It doesn't need to be shown to everyone in a new forum.
(There's also the problem with quitting projects that have been going on for ages: “If I get at least 50 love its or whatever, I won't quit!” People will just do that. So what, we ban that too? Why not just not make the forum in the first place? Is there a problem right now with the way people are leaving?)

*sighs* I made this suggestion for people to say goodbye if they are quitting. It isn't meant to cause all this trouble. There is no problem with the way people are leaving, it is just that some leave unexpectedly. Like, a follower of mine was not active, so I was wondering why. It wasn't until I went to his profile page to see that he quit.

Having the good bye forum would let people know that this scratcher is leaving, because some quitting scratchers don't tell their followers that they are leaving.

Couldn't they make a project about it then? Their friends would most likely be following them, so their friends could see the project in their my friends latest projects section. Besides, do you really need to make a forum thread just to get people to say goodbye to you? If people do that it kind of seems like they're hunting for sympathy to me.

But why would they really need sympathy? The forum is designed for people to know that they are leaving, not that they want sympathy.

Then they can make a project, or just comment on their closest friend's profiles or just leave quietly. A quitting forum would cause drama and most of the time people just quit for sympathy or popularity and come back in a week anyways.
