Can we do something about WTB? This forum is more dead than regional and Cults. I say we try a merger or atleast kickstart the hell out of it someway, it needs an overhaul pretty bad. Thoughts?

They used to be one single forum, but all the WTB threads got drowned out by all the S/T threads so they made a new forum for Buying. It's dead, but at least it's navigable

IMO the "want to buy" concept is flawed anyways, if you wanna buy something, search the B/T, WTB is just the lazy way people try to buy things, if you really want a certain product for a good deal, put some time into it.

Maybe sellers should be notified every once in a while to recommend checking out wtb.

Merging them back together is really simple.

I think splitting them was a good idea when it happened, but it's ran it's course. OP is right, WTB is dead, and like someone else said, if I am looking for something, I'll usually to to BST.

I support merging them back together. I do think the mods should be strict, any post that doesn't say either "FS" or "WTB" in the title gets deleted.
