What does "bump" mean?

I can't figure it out from context, and I can't find an existing thread explaining it. Does it mean "I agree" or "I like your comment" or "Is anyone out there?" or what??? I can't seem to guess a meaning that makes sense in all the threads I've encountered it.

I'm pretty low-tech, so please excuse my ignorance...and thanks for the help!

Bump=posting to bring a thread back to the top.

It means that you're posting to "bump" the thread to the top of the forum page so that it's seen by more people. Threads are listed by the last posting time, so if no one has posted in a while, the thread can become "dead."

It's usually an attempt to either revive a dead or dying thread or get more views without actually having anything to say about it.

I like big butts and I cannot lie but is there some evolutionary reason as to why?

Interesting stuff:

Got it. Many thanks!

I can't wait until this thread dies so I can bump it years later.

It's not going to die if someone keeps adding to it! Although, I'm a pretty good thread killer.....

Die, thread, die!!!!

No one kills a thread like I do.... go through my list of comments to see all the threads I've terminated.

oh ps: *bump*

If I die tomorrow, I invite the world to attend my funeral. But God help the souls who wear black to my funeral! I am not black on black on black. I am violet on crimson on lime. With that said, I am not cotton on jersey on denim. I am fur on silk on leather! My funeral shall be bright, my funeral shall be colourful. Wear what you must, but do not wear black. Let my example be your new tradition.


I'm too pretty to be narcissistic.

It's like LaFemme said, really. It's a lazy way of getting more input or views without actually having to add anything yourself. And most often, it's quite annoying. We have some threads here that had the potential to be really cool, but after pages and pages of nothing but "bump" (often from the same poster) they're stale, and nothing will really be able to revive them. It's sad, really.
