Crowley, have you tried PM'ing the founder? If you get a response, great. If not, that would say a lot.
I know people have lives outside of FMA and while running your own league might seem impressive, it does take a lot of dedication. Basically, if you can't put in the time, in the long run, don't create your own league. Maybe there should be higher restrictions as to who can create a league. As it stands right now, all you need is a director level of 10 and a spare grand. This can be done by a division III group, who in my book should not have that priveledge or responsibility yet. I have seen in some leagues where more than one has ability to create comps as well as post on the league announcements. Not sure how this works, whether the creator has to let you log in as him or if there is an actual separate login for this, which wouldn't be a bad idea. Thus you could have your Founder, BoD'ers, plus the option of adding one or two administrators who would have more priveledge within the league.
As far as league members being more active in the forums, well, that is a hard one. Start a forum deicated to your league if there is not already one. Keep posting in it. People do watch the forums here. I have same problem with the leagues I am in....competitions are posted early, but very little activity in the forums. We do have some semi-regulars, though a lot are from members of other leagues, which I do find healthy in the activity.
Hope this helps, otherwise keep up the good work. While a league can help to create a sense of community, it is not necessary to do well in FMA.
