People usually create their own threads about their RCE experience, recipe, results, etc. It's not required, by any means, but I think it's good feedback. Actually, to amplify what gwcr wrote, there are no hard rules about anything other than signing up and not bailing out. There's no timeline on when to finish your recipe or when to brew it. Guys have brewed their batches together, while they chat on the phone (especially if one of them is helping the other learn a new procedure). And guys have brewed their batches months apart from each other, just because life has a habit of getting in the way of important things like brewing beer.
So you're not obligated to start a thread about your experience or your beer. But I, for one, like to read about peoples' experiences, and what they learned, and what they thought of the beer they brewed. And sharing is what The is all about, isn't it?
