Bumping is a carefully constructed acronym to provide ensurance of a detailed and informative topic that helps, innovates and improves your day to day life.
thanks Hogopogo for the banner :D

Bring Up My Post seems more reasonable because it actually abreviates to BUMP.


That's what I meant to post actually, I have a habit of only paying half my attention to what I'm writing on forums and sometimes mix my words up.

It's spam, so don't "bump" threads. >:( Only say something if it contributes to conversation! (Unless you're in off-topic, then you can say all the random **** you want)



Ouch Mowen. Ouch. You don't see me making fun of your empire, I expected that you'd do the same for mine.

people do bump for..
1. the benefit of the thread.
2. their own benefit.

first, it sends the thread to top, which makes lazy people who dont have time to click 'next page' to see other threads.

second.. c'mon! its +1 on your posts. and everyone likes their post count to increase, but not everyone want them to increase in that way.

also, there's different versions of bump just for the fun of it.
examples:

Bump for JUSTICE!
Bump for the sake of it.
bamf.
or.
Bump for (insertnamehere)

Since we're on the subject of "bumping", some people think "bumping" means they can go and necro threads a year or two ago. If you do, I will find you.

If you don't know what necro means, I'll copy and paste out of urbandictionary for you. "to comment on an internet thread long after the conversation has concluded, often using information
that did not exist at the time of the original thread.". AKA NO BUMPING **** FROM YEARS AGO.
