obijonkenobi Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 What do people mean when they say "bump" in forums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
power_ed Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 you bump a page, to get it on top of the list again, so others have a chance to see it too. ::/Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingman Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 After being on the forums so long, people go psycho and think they're racing around a track. Everytime they hit a bump in the road they have to type "Bump" in the forum BUMP BUMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obijonkenobi Posted April 19, 2002 Author Share Posted April 19, 2002 I must be slow today as I still don't know what your talking about you guys! :/ Could you give me an example please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
power_ed Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 look at this post, when ever sombody post here, it comes back at the top of the forum. so, whenever sombody writes just to do that it's a bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obijonkenobi Posted April 19, 2002 Author Share Posted April 19, 2002 Okay, now I know what it does - puts the topic to the top of the list. That explains why my posts often stay "still" while other posts get pushed down when new ones come. And to do this I simply type "bump" in the message area?

power_ed Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 yeah.. but dont bump your own posts to much. if your post if crawling down the list for 3 hours without a reply, then its reasonoble to assume that nobody has anything to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obijonkenobi Posted April 19, 2002 Author Share Posted April 19, 2002 Thanks mate Problem solved! To be honest I thought it was just some yankee slang/noise like how yanks often woot... I still don't know why someone thought "woot" was a good thing... Personally I reckon its stupid and the original person so say this should be exeuted by having their heart cut out with a dull spoon (ala Prince of Theives). But then again I think all of that "haxors" speak is stupid. There are faster ways to type then with being "haxor L337" or whatever it is sposed to be. But this would be best on another post, but I couldn't be bothered. I just take people more seriously when they use real words. Even american english is aceptable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonkH8er Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 woooo queenslander! g'd onya mate. yeah, as they said... dont bump too often... or people will think you're a 'newb jerk' or something... we're getting 2-3 pages of threads per day (well for me anyway) and not everyone will look through them... but i always do... and i tend to post in the ones on the 2nd page a lot more.... to bring them back so people see them. btw, im moving this thread...

obijonkenobi Posted April 19, 2002 Author Share Posted April 19, 2002 Originally posted by GonkH8er woooo queenslander! g'd onya mate. About time another QLD'er was here! (or spoke up). I think my location is only "Queensland" - this is because of all those yankee wankers who only post their state name as if only yanks are on this forum, or who think every non-yank should know that their location is an american state as they got the false impression other country actually bother to learn about such un-important crap. So I put my location as the state name only in a not-very-good statement about the arogant state-only yanks. But I digress. Oh but before I am labled a troll, the only yanks im calling wankers are the wankers that only put their state name (or worse: state initials) in their location. The ones who at least include the coutnry name are nice enough - and considerate enough - and not arrogant - to include USA in the location part. i repeat - the wankers are only the arogant "state only" people. any other american are not wankers and are pretty cool.

But I agree that L337 talk (or B@x as they like to call it) is well... childish... Some people are real fanatics! j00 4r 4 n00b 455h0L3! 1m 901n9 70 h4x0r j00r 455 0f!!

You nailed it right on the head! Eh.. have you ever tried to say "w00t?", In Real Life I mean... It sounds FUN! W00t!! I live in Australia, and here I've never heard anyone off-line say that. The Australian version of Big Brother had this chick in it last year who said "breeeep!" all the f__king time and it was so annoying - a few people started doing that but most people told them to shut the hell up lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 Doesnt anyone else say LOL in real life ? Must just be me then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonkH8er Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 easy on the language obijon..... tah ive said lol once in real life.... the people i was with just looked at me and went.. "lol???? wtf????" i felt really stupid notice to everyone... never say lol in real life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obijonkenobi Posted April 19, 2002 Author Share Posted April 19, 2002 LOL is a way to say you laughed over something as you can not hear it with text. L337 speak doesnt serve a purpose such as that, it only looks stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Forceflow Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 I actually use ROFL in real life from time to time. But most people look funny at me when I do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forhekset Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 I'm going to start posting "Hey! You there!" to bump threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obijonkenobi Posted April 19, 2002 Author Share Posted April 19, 2002 so you do not need to say "bump" but just post a new message? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital_Ronin Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 Indeed. Oh, and I do use 'lol' in daily language... well, guess my friends got somewhat used to it. Digital_Ronin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HertogJan Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 Originally posted by Raith Doesnt anyone else say LOL in real life ? Must just be me then Yeah, but maybe that's because I'm Dutch... "lol" is an actual word here, meaning "fun"... "funny" would be "lollig" in dutch, don't try to pronounce it, hehe! Maybe it's an extreme coinsidence (eh spelling), but "lauching out loud" and "fun" have lot's to do with each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HertogJan Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 BTW, I have a n00b question too what exactly does *shruds* mean? I figured out it would mean something like /me shivers Am I right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital_Ronin Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 You mean *shrugs*, right? Shrud seems to be just a typo. It's an upward movement you make with your shoulders, especially when you want to express ' Sorry, I have no idea '. Digital_Ronin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
