Why do people say "bump" on threads?

[quote=Mowen]It usually is just saying "bump" that is against the rules. But "spam" is also against the rules and if it's a spam bump even if it's not the word "bump" it's a no-no. http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/forum/general/forum-rules-and-behavior-4915 "1. No spamming. Try to keep any and all comments constructive in your replies. We strongly discourage posts consisting of little more than a smiley face or just a quote of someone else's response. Try to keep your post above 10 letters. If this guideline is not met, we may have to implement a letter filter that will force you to post over 10 letters."[/quote]

[quote=Mooninites]i say "bump" because it reminds me of having sex, which I always have, but really never[/quote]

[quote=Temzilla][quote=jhoijhoi] Mowen: I don't think that's completely fair/right. Any sort of post after the post before it can be considered a "bump". Me replying to this thread can be considered a bump. It still bumps the thread to the top of the list. Keondre isn't breaking any rules by bumping a friend's thread. I'm not breaking any rules if I go and bump one of my suggestion threads with the post "Anymore ideas?". The only bumping that I can see that is harmful to a forum is the mindless bumping of superfluous threads like "QQ Anivia OP" with the post "BUMP!". [/quote] "Bump" Is against the rules because it is spam. "Yo Jeff, nice sigs bro!" Isn't against the rules(in proper context) because it is not spam[/quote]

[quote=Nyoike]Just like if I were to go to my sig shop that is crazy buried and say "Bump" or "Cough cough" or something liek that, it'd be spam, but if I go and post a new sig there that I made for someone, that's not spam. Right?[/quote]

[quote=GrimmFate]Stands for Bring My Post Up Right? I think that's self-explanatory.. Bringing your 'post' (Thread w/e) to the top of the page. As in they want the thread they just 'bumped' to be noticed by more people, usually just used when not many people post in a thread and the OP wants more attention. At least that's my understanding of it.[/quote]

But really at it's base, it doesn't truly matter what it stands for, because it means spam.[/quote]

[quote=PerpetualDuplicity]^^ Bumps are spam. Enough said.[/quote]
