Default Re: Collaborative Worldbuilding Threads

So, a few questions I've been thinking about:

1) Why do people get involved in these kinds of threads.
Is it to altruistically put out some settings for random GMs to use in their games?
Is it an outlet for creative writing? Or something else?

2) What method would be most productive and interesting?

3) Why do such threads peter out when they do?

4) Has anyone used material from such a thread in their own game?
How and what and how much?
Was it used as-is or substantially adapted?

5) I've ended up making a wiki for any of the threads I've run- does anyone actually refer to them?
(ETA: Space Trader wiki- http://interstellardrift.wikifoundry.com/page/Qns+1-20
Steampunk wiki- http://belowthehorizon.wikifoundry.c...tream%3A+q1-40)
