Slight change in direction, cutting back public commish leagues

We're creeping up on one year since the site rolled out to the public, and it's cool to see how it's grown, but there have been lessons too.

I've learned that few public commissioner leagues get off the ground, causing confusion and frustration for some users. For now, I am haulting any new public commissioner leagues (this does not affect Auto Leagues). Those currently running can continue for as long as they want, and those who have built a league but haven't started games yet will get plenty of time to get off the ground if they still want to.

But the only new requests I will consider are private leagues for those who already have friends signed up on the site and are serious about running a league.

Meanwhile, I am still hoping that sometime this year I will offer some type of deeper franchise league that works similar to the current Auto Leagues, but allows for multiple seasons of play. We'll see what '09 brings, but I think we have a pretty good thing going with the wide variety of Auto Leagues we currently provide, so I hope you'll continue to enjoy the site in its second year as much as you did the first.
