Petition to enforce a check on board interest for 4CC teams

We, the various managers of the 4CC, implore the Cup administration to make sure that boards show actual interest for the Cup to be permitted to participate.

This is purely for the health of the Cup; there are simply too many teams without board interest, only run by a single interested person (who may or may not be a merc in some cases). Meanwhile, we have boards with actual, interested fanbases getting displaced by teams virtually no-one actually cares about. A plan to do something like this was actually worked out in the past, but unfortunately that never got off the ground for certain reasons.

Checking for this could be on a case-by-case basis, possibly similar to the criteria used for recent /vg/ leagues. While some boards, like /a/, have clear interest, smaller boards should be able to present archived threads expressing interest or decent numbers of replies on (in-depth) team polls.

The exact mechanism could be determined later, but something needs to be done here.
