Thing is, with online leagues or just any group of people, you'll never get 100% to be on board with any single idea (usually at least) so whatever way you go you're gonna have GM's leave. Best you can do is make your league visible to those that want to look to make the jump to online leagues - I had to search hard to get into the ones that I'm in when I first wanted to make the jump.
Hopefully they make gradual improvements to the online experience in general because it does lag behind the single player experience in many areas of it's core functionality.

No. Not subscription and a new game every year. My thought is that you do one of them. Preferably the subscription. But as Drummer pointed out, that would penalize guys that typically buys every second game.
I know you can't get everybody on board forever. But I have a long background from STHS leagues. I started a league back in 2008, and handed it over to another commish in 2014. That league is still running, and half of the GMs are still the same. I don't really see that happening on FHM, and I think that the format of one new game every year has a lot to do with it.
My online league is visible. Most viewed post on the FHM 9 Online Leagues forum. I don't really struggle with this yet, I started my league this summer. But after talking with a lot of guys, I realized that the current format is a problem for online leagues in general.
Yeah, the online experience is not the same as the offline experience. And I'm doing a custom league for my online league, it's even a lot worse. Hopefully thing will be cleaned up in the future.
