I have figured out the best use of AE

LFG

I can sit for 20 minutes with no teams spamming for members, spam lft, nothing.

go to AE, start an arc - suddenly 5 teams will be looking for members.

I think I'm going to start logging out in AE so I can try to fake the teams out by just starting an arc right away

You, my man, have "the gift". I, too, have "the gift". Sucks, doesn't it?

I have that too, but instead of not finding teams, entire threads just die after I post in them.

Obligatory post to keep Guy's prediction from coming true.

No, kidding. I actually wanted to say that I joined a team yesterday and was almost immediately sent a tell by someone else asking if they could join my team. Never mind that it was a full team and I wasn't the leader -- do people just sit around looking at search to see who's already on a team and then spam e-mail them? Sheesh.

Does it count if you're not the last post?

Anyways I've always found that teams will appear once I start doing missions.

This usually ends up being the case though there have been times (particularly redside) that ends up not happening.

*sets thread aflame*

Burn, damn you, burn!

When I select all in LFG and queue up it never fires until I get into a timed mission after I've had LFG queued long enough to forget (usually about 2-3 hours) I still have it on.
