Remaining Interested

After you have created a thread, how long do you usually stay interested in it?
Also, why do you create threads and what kind do you like to make?

I lose interest in my own threads too quickly. I guess when they don't work out the way I intend I slink away from them in shame.
I tend to create threads in an attempt to be humorous. Most people don't find them funny and many to my consternation seem to take them seriously. Very frustrating. For example, I made a thread about banning scientists, a completely rediculous idea, and found I was being called a hypocrite for wanting to ban scientists and using a computer to do so.
I guess it is my own fault for failing at the attempted humor but am still shocked at some of the reactions.

I only care about it for 10 minutes.

I almost never post in a thread after I make it. Mostly, 'cause in the first post I'm In Character (IC) and coming in later Out of Character (OOC) ruins it.

I do post on my own threads but feel a bit like it is self promotion of a thread, even though you have to in order to debate on a thread. So I feel guilty for doing what I guess it is expected you are to do. So much to feel guilty for. . .so little time.
