There are so many unknown variables, when discussing an imaginary league, you can't expect people to commit to it. A prospective owner must have something concrete to look at and consider, before he can decide whether he likes a league enough to join it.
The amount of interest and involvement that owners will show for an actual, constructed league is infinitely more than they will show for a proposal.
You can't join a proposal. You can't be a member of a proposal. You can't be loyal to a proposal. You can't love a proposal.
If you have imagination, webspace, and free time, build your league and start rocking. You'll get the owners.
Consider this fact: take a premium new league, fully fleshed-out and online--announce its launch on this forum, and you're going to pick up about one new owner a day. It takes the most interesting, well-done leagues at least a couple of weeks to fill up. You can't expect a bunch of people to flock around a proposed league, and get all excited about it. Not going to happen.

understandable, I already run a highly successful hockey league (rated top-3 overall). That is why i was gauging the interest, not asking for members or loyalty, just minor interest. I go through about 2 hours a day on it, with programming, rosters, site maintenence and server maintenence. I don't want to start up a league, without at least a 50% interest, just to watch it fail and my time be wasted. The couple leagues I am a member of right now, are not full and have not been full. I am not looking to start a league that is only going to be 75% full and always looking to recruit.
A project starts with an idea, due to the below-average interest, it will die as an idea. I appreciate you all helping with everything, but its best to not start, then to have a less-than-full league with part-time members. Much Respect.
