FWIW, I see more threads on the forum's first page stating that a GM is looking for a league than I do guaging interest threads. This, despite the fact that there's a sticky for GM's looking for a league at the top of the thread. I'll admit, I'm not sure if I were looking for a league that I would use the sticky. Seems like it would be easy to get lost in the shuffle of other people's posts there.
I personally don't mind the guaging interest threads if they seem genuine. I'm not a fan of someone spamming the forum with multiples of them. However, they're certainly on-topic even if they don't often amount to someone creating a league. In some respects, I'd rather see a new OOTPer get little interest to his online league idea that he hasn't invested a lot of money and time into than to see him commit to that league and still get no interest. There are a lot of leagues that come and go quickly for a variety of reasons, but one of those reasons is failure to keep the league full. I've been down that road as a commish myself, and it's not very fun.
