I do think that the board for announcing league launches and important new developments, and for recruiting for online league members, shouldn't have to compete with discussions about theoretical leagues.

Satchel,
What is your problem ? How can any post that is not spam and is not critical or threating of another person(s) be un-needed ? The whole reason for forum's is to get traffic, and have discussions on topics NOT to dictate what is not needed from a couple users perspectives. Now I am sure that your leagues are perfect with no issues and never any turn over so I will exclude you from the next paragraph
Many people spend countless hours and resources (as well as some monetary outlay) to create something they think is interesting and may want to share with other managers - And not all of these leagues get filled ever (or in a resonable time frame) so this person waits and waits and maybe never gets the results he was hoping for - Your use of the field of dreams line "If you build it they will come " is not really true - Most new leagues have a hard time making it - That is not all it is most. Backstories, Player histories - Websites etc.. They are all getting more challenging to come up with original ideas but also harder to fill with veteran managers.
The seasoned managers like the seasoned leagues - So the reason for gauging interest is to see if you get any number of intersted manager candidates prior to may be making a huge resource commitment - The commitment though it may seem trivial to some of you may be huge for somebody else who may have fewer resources
Quit being so critical of posts being placed on boards - If you have no interest in the topic do not read it move on - I don't respond to every topic I don't like because to decide what is and is not "postable" and under what terms is a little like censorship and I would hate to think OOTP and the moderators of this board think censorship is an appropriate behavior for such a non-threating topic as "Gauging Interest"
And since when did you become the authority on what is allowed on a free forum that you do not host, pay for or maintain
Only those who have made that investment have the right to freely use the real estate of this Online Leagues subforum. <------- Is this within your authority to dictate
