Why do people write 'bump'?
Title says everything. I can't work it out.

P.S. I live in England!

Re: Why do people write 'bump'?
It's a way to bring the thread back up top in the list of threads. It's an acronym for 'bring up my post', though not many know that.

BUMP! Joking, joking 
When a person posts a reply simply to put it at the top of the thread list. It's well hated by a few people.

Yeah, actually to the person above, I actually never knew that. Hm... well, learn something every day!
Yeah, bumping helps bring your post back to the top. Thats all really, you're "bumping" it back to the top. Get it?

I certainly don't consider bumping a form of spam! It's a way of getting a thread noticed better in the list. It's completely legitimate if the thread hasn't gotten many views yet.

It's not a form of spam, if you're thread is on the second page, not many people will see it. So by bringing up the post, more people will see it.
