I think most people who want to give their things to someone who genuinly needs them DO check the wanted forum. But sometimes even there they don't get a response for ages.
Most of the stuff people put up is their clutter and they want to get rid of it asap. They not necesseraly want to give it to someone who really needs these, they just want to get the stuff out of their homes.
Plus some people in the wanted forum forget to state where they are, where they can collect. So if you're giving away larger items and find someone in the wanted forum looking for them still not sure if they'll take it as they might be at the other end of the country.
