Like some here, Engel and AT for example, I don't.

I only glance through a thread that isn't mine. if I need to get a feel for a potential partner's consistency, style and other writing habits. I also don't care what others are writing. I have a life, I don't have time to really keep tabs on other stories I'm not part of. But I do know others enjoy it and I think it's great when roleplays can be shared and somehow inspire or encourage onlookers/lurkers.
