Spam is when you go:


OHAA!! I FARTED!


Or something similar. It pisses me, and others off.

spamming is a slang term which origenated from the hate of adds which you could get in your email box (boat loads at a time) now adays spam is used to define usless/pointless things on a chatting system which are just taking up space and have no purpose and only annoy ppl.

bumping is used on forums (some forums) to bring a post up to the top of the list. this also accurs (in most forums) when you type a new message.

To be more erudite...

Spamming: Is to speak about anything off topic. Though, more partiularly, it moves to annoy and waste people's time. Technically this thread is spam but as you can see... it doesn't annoy anyone so all is well.

Bumping: Is posting nothing at all just to bring your topic back up to the top. Some people find something greatly interesting that noone else in the world does so they keep posting replies to themselves to throw it in the face of those that just don't care.

actually the use of the word "spam" as annoying or pointless *OOPS* is thought to have originated from the very skit that "matt in a bubble" seems to be reffering to.

And that is your useless bit of trivia for today =)
