Thank you for your thoughtful reply. Of course, this is what is happening now:

2. A hack author, when he or she feels there is no longer an urge to continue developing a hack, can post in his or her hack support thread and just announce that the hack may be taken over.

I don't see why option 2 is not used more often.

I guess what I am trying to say is that a whole new forum may not be required.

My reasoning for suggesting a new forum has to do with probability, simplification, and organization. I doubt many coders have the time or inclination to surf through all the threads here. Even if the author of a particular hack announces that they are "moving on" on post #57 of their 30 page thread ... who in the heck (realistically) would spot it?

On the other hand, if they posted in the suggested forum, everyone would easily be informed.

This seems like a "win-win" suggestion to me (but then it would; wouldn't it?).
