Almost Done
So, I just sent out some mails about missing pieces in the sheets or stories. Not really much to do, I'm quite happy with the info I've got.
I've also decided against a common background or a battle that you all served in, although the latter might still come up. So the situation we start in might seem a bit forced, but for a forum game we just don't have the time to get six people together in the usual ordeal. The starting situation will leave room for everyone to get to know each other and get to grips with the posting until the real action begins.
Regarding posting, I'd still say we trust each player to make roll his own dice (probably online if you're posting from a place where you might get strange looks if you pull out 12 six siders). It's also quite helpful if you make the text your character actually speaks a different color, as seen in all the other PbP games. Color your OOC comments another color or spoiler them. If anyone can think of other useful tips for the game, now's the time...

How will you handle combat? Will we work it in an OOC Combat thread (posting all of the boring stat-based stuff) and then stylize it into the main thread, or will we spoiler requests for rolls?
And just tell us the situation or battle you want to "force" our characters into, and I'll fit it in. My guy's pretty flexible, it shouldn't be a problem.

Important battles will probably be done on a round-for-round basis. Everything else will be done in a slightly abbreviated manner. You tell me your strategy, which includes both general terms ("I try to keep enemies from fleeing") and mechanical ones ("I'll go for Power Attack 5"), and I'll do the neccesary dice rolls and decisions for 2-4 rounds. I'll interrupt of course if the situation changes, reinforcements arrive etc.
And regarding the format, I'd say we do it all in the main thread. At this level, system details aren't that disturbing yet. Long stuff should be spoilered -- as does stuff not everyone knows about. I'll do the same for Listen or Sense Motive checks. If it's just a quick roll, put it in parentheses, preferably of a different color, e.g.
If any of this doesn't work out, we'll discuss it on the OOC thread.

Should a Rogue's Gallery thread be started up? Simply so we can keep track of updated character sheets (mostly so I can keep track of and let everyone know what spells I have prepared and the ones I know)?
