Should There be WTB section is Classifieds?
I personally am all for the WTB section. It seems to work on supraforums and they have far fewer members. It would help reduce clutter in the classifieds section and it would help people find parts more easily. There could be a separate WTB section within the FS sections.
Some might say there are not enough WTB postings to fuel an entire section, but that could be because there isn't a section for them. Personally, I have done more deals through wtb ads than FS ads. I see someone post for a need and then realize I have it and don't need it anymore and make a deal.
What does everyone think?

There is a thread on this in the Site Questions and Problems forum.
But you already know that because you posted it.

We've considered doing this in the past and have decided not to for a few reasons:
1) Since all our classifieds are listed for each model of Lexus and sometimes for generations of each model (there are a lot more sub-forums compared to many other forums) and they all are linked directly as 'sub forums' on our main forums page (and we want to keep that), it would effectivly double the 'real estate' needed to list them all and often cause confusion.
2) If we put them as a sub forum under each model classified, they would get far less 'eyes' looking at them compared to the main model classified and the members who do have a WTB would be negatively impacted. It would also cause them to just start putting the WTB in the main model classified forum creating extra work for the moderators.
3) A central single WTB forum (not related to a specific model) is too generic to consider... our members generally are looking for something very specific for a certain vehicle.
4) The number of WTB threads is very low compared to 'for sale' posts - maybe 100 to 1 - and the traffic does not warrant its own forum(s)
Although we won't be implementing it, thanks for the idea, keep 'em coming

When an administrator answers you NO and you go posting a poll defying an administrator kicking a dead horse, you are seconds away from taking a vacation from the forum.
