bump
what does bump mean ? I see it on one thread ,bump after bump many time one after another Sep 05 06 12:49 pm Link Bump means that you made a posting that "bumped" the thread back to the top of the forum. As each new thread isi posted the old threads move down the page so if you want your thread back at the top you "bump" it. or you just type in nonsence but a bump is honest self promotion.

Too often it is used by members who cannot stand the fact that within 10 minutes that do not have a rush of responders to the thread, especially stupid on Friday nights or Holiday nights. Whhhhaaaaa, I posted 5 minutes ago and I need attention. Sep 05 06 09:14 pm Link MHana wrote: I had a suggestion for this once. A thread would not be "bumped" if the original poster replied to the thread. And when someone else posts, it does not take it to the top but takes it half way (rounded to the nearest integer, of course.) So one response does not move it back up, but a lot of traffic will keep it near the top. Should be an easy software fix. Sep 05 06 10:58 pm Link Ah, the fine art of bumping. My specialty. Secrets from a Pro: Any post you make in a thread will snatch it away from oblivion and send it soaring back up to the top. You don't have to say "bump." Even just a period (.) will work. Never say "bump" - that alerts everyone to the fact you have absolutely no life whatsoever other than sitting at your computer hoping someone will make some lame comment about some dull brainless dim-witted subject thatâs already been beaten to death ad nauseam. Instead, go through all the dull brainless dim-witted replies that were posted and find âsomethingâ to make your own dull brainless dim-witted response to. Quote that response then just type something like âI agreeâ, âtrue datâ, or âyouâre a dull brainless dim-witâ â just to get thing going again. That will impress all the other members cause they'll think: "Wow! this guy has been so busy he hasn't even had time to read or respond to things said in his own thread - he's got a life!!!!" Another secret is to watch your thread sink to the bottom as the minutes and then hours slowly pass by. Even though you have some dull brainless dim-witted response youâre dying to add, donât waste it while your thread is still near the top. Patiently wait, like a tiger in the woods, till your thread gets to the bottom of the page and then strike! Viola! â another perfectly timed successful operation â your thread is back on top and you can again begin watching it slowly sink to the bottom. It is due to artful and successful bumping procedures performed here by the pros that makes everyone addicted to the MM forums (instead of those âotherâ Model Places). It is skillful bumping that is what really creates âBlockbuster Threadsâ you can be proud of such as: Why do some photographers insist on no escorts??? (over 3,500 dull brainless dim-witted replies â and counting â at the time of this posting). -Glenn Sep 06 06 04:24 am Link pmub Sep 06 06 07:04 am Link Hadyn Lassiter wrote: Excellent!
