~Rebel_Monkey~ Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 to move it to the top of the list of threads , usually there is an unaswered question contained in the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joben Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 The thought is "I will bump[/] this thread to the top of the list" Its an abreviation of a colloquialism, no wonder its confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMan Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 And it is also over used. They 'bump' the thread because they want to know if anything new has happened. But nothing new woul dhave happened because, if there were they wouldn't have to bump it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Marrakesh Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 I think BUMP also has stood for Bring Up My Posts, at least in the case of the thread starter saying it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
