"Bump" Know what that means in the context of Internet message boards? If you have any experience at all with message boards, you will know that, when someone wants to revive an old thread that has found its way off the main thread page, they will enter a post into the thread, which moves ("bumps") it back, onto the main page in the number one position.
If they are doing it blatantly, they will simply put "Bump" into the post and enter it. If they want to use a bit more tact, they will actually enter some halfway meaningful text into the post before entering it.
Why do I bring up this entire, dreary subject, I hear you cry . . .
Because I just noticed something. You hardle EVER see anyone bumping threads here at USMB. By contrast, at the message board I belonged to before coming here (the one named after and sponsored by a very well known, right-wing, talk show host, dickwad whose last name begins with the letter "H"), you saw this done all the time. It was very common.
I wonder why there and not here?
