I always think of these as "Leaving, forever" posts since that's what we called them over on PlanetCrap (which I haven't been an active member of in quite some time, though I still read Quartertothree.com a bit, and that has some significant overlap in users). A big part of the meme is that people who post such posts before they leave are nearly guaranteed to come back, and sooner rather than later. (Though often under a different pseudonym if the forum allows it).
