A bump is a post a person makes in order to keep a thread on page 1 so that people will ses it.

Fitting in like a dream old sun!

Yeah, for example, this post was slipping towards the bottom of the page, so I thought it would be appropriate to !bump! it, so everyone could see it... or something like that.

Ya get it now right?

Wrong - "bump" is also the lamest excuse for spammers to work on their post count. I'm pretty sure there are lots of people around here who have used the bump excuse hundreds of times http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif But sometimes it's a good thing though, for example when a few newbies have cloggered up the first page of the BG2 forum with questions about finding and/or killing Kangaxx and you actually have to search for the thread you were having an interesting discussion in http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

Oh yeah, I always bump things just to get a higher number of posts, isn't that what everyone does?

Besides, having a high post count is the only thing that counts http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...s/rolleyes.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif
