Just my $.02 from someone new to this thread...

I elected to bow out when I realized that some of my supplies were unusable. It would have been easy for me to replace them then get my ATCs out within a few days but my understanding was that they were due to be sent within two days of my withdrawing. Two days would be impossible with obtaining a new media and allowing things to dry. But, a week would have been ok. (I think I bowed out approximately two weeks ago)

If there is an absolute deadline, people may or may not withdraw because of whatever circumstances they have going on. If the deadline is 2-4 weeks from the close date to sign up, that should not be an issue the majority of the time.

BUT, whatever is decided with regards to deadline needs to be enforced. I have been sitting out this project because I respected the deadline set. I stepped back knowing how much I was going to miss being part of this but I did it because I felt it was the right thing to do, since a deadline was posted.

My time on BFP has significantly decreased and I miss hanging out here. Being part of these projects and the greeting cards project allows me to still feel that closeness to the people here. I really do not like missing something because I followed the rules though
