I suppose it's as simple as people not wanting to feel left out on an ongoing basis. I can sympathise with that since I'll openly admit to feeling that way myself at times. I'll see an interesting thread, post an in-depth response and then...nothing.
Nobody is obligated to respond, of course, but it is frustrating when there's a situation of 'X posts their latest artwork of their character and gets dozens of responses whilst Y posts their latest artwork and nobody even comments in passing.'
It's not always a case of jealousy either - people just like feeling like they're part of the community they're residing in.
