I participated last year on behalf of FFToday. JetDoc was our moderator. CapLou was on the team. DocNiner was on a different team, but he participated; also he had been on FFToday's team in 2002.
It was incredibly challenging and time intensive. Last year there were 5 drafts going on with I would love to see us get involved, and I would be happy to participate for us. I can't give the time to help moderate this year, however.
I withdrew myself from the FFToday team, although I probably would not have been asked back. I was in the bottom five of all participants - out of 60? Compare that to how I did in the GBRFL2, CBFL, KJGYL, etc. and you will understand just how competitive it is. I know I can do better - the main reason I did so poorly was predraft trading.
I will go through my old emails tonight and see if I can find some links. Emailing JetDoc might be a good place to start.
One thing we would definitely need is 12 participants willing to do it.

I spoke yesterday about this with Jeff. He knows my take on it all. As for my being instrumental with this this year, ain't happenin',... not even close. That said, the idea would be to represent "the Gridiron @ FantasyFootballer.com" in this thing. As such (after mulling things over since talking with Jeff yesterday), I would want some kind of "executive-ish" decision-making power, i.e., in tight situations regarding trades or free-agents, at least consult me/ask me my take. I mean you would be representing my site, so...
In any event, make no mistakes... I am interested in these types of ventures, BUT summer-fall, 2004 could not be a worse time for me to deal with this stuff.

 There was no post I was reacting to, bg. I just wrote that in light of it all.

I will take that as an indirect compliment.

The interest really is underwhelming. 
Guys, if you want a challenge, this is it. The biggest, most well-known FF boards on the internet are involved. They each select members to participate. It is the cream of the crop. Also it would be a great way to promote this site. As I kind of mentioned before, I don't mean just with our FF accumen, but also with everything else that comprises "The Gridiron Spirit".
If we don't get a team together this year, we should still start lobbying now. Maybe we could follow the drafts and get a better feel for next year?
This year or any other, I can't wait to go to war for The Gridiron!

I think that this league would be the biggest challenge
for any who have never participated.Last year we had
five separate drafts with trading allowed in or out of
your draft. You cannot however own the same player twice. There are five of every NFL players available.
You play a team from each board every week. With
five boards involved last year, your team would play against four teams on a weekly basis.
FFToday got involved for the 2002 season. We sent
a pretty good group, but finished third out of four
boards. It actually took a few of us a good month or so
to get the hang of this league.
We made some changes for the 2004 season. Jet chose
some new faces, and we almost went wire to wire. We
lost the Championship during week 17 by a grand
total of one point. Why the league even plays the last
week of the season is beyond me. I hope that this
changes for 2004 if the league stays intact.
I am not sure what my status will be regarding this league for the 2004 season. If I can recall, I finished
about 13th out of forty eight teams for 2002, but 2003
had me about in the middle. I did have some bad luck
with guys like Vick, Porter etc., but made whatever trades I could in order to offsett injured high draft picks.
In the end, I drafted players from all five drafts. I was
very active on the trade front, and really enjoyed it.
As of right now, I am planning to go back to try and win
this thing if asked. I am not sure what my status is at
this time, but expect that JetDoc will send out invites
in the future to those he plans on keeping. If I am cut,
please keep me in mind for a slot if available.

Agreed. But between Steg, Philly, bgsgfan, Dirk Diggler, Captain Lou, 420, Tony_O, Dolfan, KillerKingSting, kidcrash, myself and whoever else wanted to participate, we'd have a real solid team.

You don't really have me this year as I stated. That said, you would be representing my site, so I would demand some "executive" "final" decision-making power, BUT you guys would have to do ALL the legwork, which seems to be SUBSTANTIAL for this endeavor. POINT BEING, do whatever; HOWEVER, do NOT count on me AT ALL, BUT be prepared for me to still want to have some say in "things", EVEN THOUGH MY SPECIFIC PARTICIPATORY LEVEL SHOULD NOT MERIT IT, i.e. disproportionate to my level of participation, and then be prepared to NOT get pissed off at me for doing that. That's my concern; well, that, and I would want us to make a "good showing". If we just go in and suck, that would NOT be helping the cause. Anyway, I just want to lay it ALL out there... so there are NO misunderstandings about whence I am coming with respect to this.
