It's an optional security feature. Lots of people who use forums have family and friends who use their computer, so if they wanted, they could simply find the site in your favorites or history and post under your user name, which, as I've seen before, can be a very ugly thing.
I've only used the Logout on my own forum in oder to test other accounts for features...I have no one else who uses my computer, so I have no worries.
