I'm minded to close this section down - there was a suggestion that it might be useful, but it's not being used.
Having trouble posting images here?  This might help.

    maybe rename it to musicians wanted/available? (if that is what its for)

    i dont know how many members are registered here currently, i kept checking back on musicradar for weeks before i did a web search a few days ago to see what was happening and then stumbled across this one.
    it may be that over the next months a lot more people will join

    Even on the old site there was only a couple of posts a month - if that.

    I'd say leave it. :)
    It's not like it takes a lot of space and it might become more popular in the (near) future. :)

    Change the name to musicians as suggested by Fazer.

    Maybe put a sticky discussion "Musicians wanted" in Misc.

    or just useful and nice to have on the occasions it's needed.  I'm sure it will be valued and get used, even if only occasionally.

    Why can't people use the Misc Classifed or Live Playing categories?
    It's an unnecessary luxury to have this hanging around for a tiny minority of users and the less a section is used, the less it gets looked at, surely?

    I was one of the people who petitioned for the column in MR. Not that it got a lot of use but without it was very unclear where such ads should go otherwise and they were popping up all over the place. Sites like Partysounds and Joinmyband get reasonable traffic so it may also be a development area for this forum. I guess the main problem is that this forum is mainly guitarists and guitarists aren't usually looking for other guitarists. However, over on Basschat the equivalent thread seems to be found by a lot of people looking for bassists who otherwise aren't forum regulars there. Give it a bit more time.

    Maybe adding notices re.  local Jam nights and forum get-togethers in here would widen the scope a wee bit?

    I requested this section too as there was quite a busy equivalent on MR. Perhaps it needs renaming to 'Musician's wanted' would make its purpose clearer (?)

    I agree musicians wanted makes more sense, I missed it the first scan though the forums.

    It could of course be that everyone knows what we're like here and doesn't want to risk an ad. for fear that one of us might actually apply for the job.

    I think this section is valid.

    I hope that someone on here applies for that job teaching bass guitar I put on here.  I'd like to see how they get on.

    I look in on it this thread once in a while, but nothing much happening.

    Why not add a drums and bass thread to the main forum and classifieds forum.  MR never really limited their forum and it did have those in, so it got all sorts of weirdos and drummers.  :)

    Once word gets out, the forum will be buzzing with all sorts of people.  I want commission for that suggestion.  :)

    I was a bit disappointed with the MR one because there was only ever one ad,  asking for a few musos to pop round and have a jam locally, and the two responses I made were completely ignored.  Interestingly the original poster also posted again and again my response was ignored.

    I think the main problem is that the forum is 99% guitarists so all the ads are "Wanted someone who isn't a guitarist" which promptly gets zero responses. 

    I've got an ad up for vocalist wanted and not a sniff.
