    To bump the post thread up. For example you asked this question, if k ozone answers you, you would bump it up in the hope,of getting some sort of respons. Bump as in quote on it yourself.

    Bring Up My Post - it's a way for people to force their threads to be seen - we ban it with one exception as the forum should decide what they want to see.

    The exception (unwritten rule) is you get one per day in clan talk > looking for clan mates this is so the smaller clans get a fairer share of first page time.

    When any thread is replied to, this thread goes to the top in the sub forum and that is called a bump

    Let me just quote wikipedia here.


    and Bumping is against the forum rules.
