i THINK he meant to merge both the available and wanted together.
but i still prefer it as it is but still people abuse the category by putting the availables in the wanted section vice versa.

There is some difference.
Posts in BW should ideally be from people [not musicians, maybe event/gig organisers, wedding etc] who want bands.
Posts in MA should ideally be from musician/s who are free and available to either join existing projects or form a new group.
One way to make things clearer is to take a cue from relationship classified ad listings - Men seeking women, women seeking man, etc - and rename those forum sections using the same structure.
Then, we would have:
- Musicians seeking bands
- Bands seeking musicians
We might have to add another if necessary to cater for non-musos:
maybe - Organisers seeking musicians/bands.
But anyway, I think things are working pretty okay as they are, majority of the posters do know which goes where.

I think Weckl nailed it!
- Musicians seeking bands
- Bands seeking musicians
This way it would be less confusing for bands to post, and for musicians who're looking for bands to post. Maybe a simple rephrase is all it needs.
But if its all merged, it will be very hard unless its done like sgadsonline, where 'job offered' or 'job wanted' is placed by the side of each post in a prominent place...
