For future reference, could somebody please tell me what bumping is on these forums?

-S

More specifically, it's replying to yourself in a thread. People often do this if their thread starts to get close to the bottom of the listing, and they aren't satisfied with the number of replies they've gotten. Posting simply to bring attention to an existing thread is bumping and is not allowed.

Cry.. or post a better topic next time

The only times I've bumped is when I just posted a reply and I think of a whole bunch of new stuff to go in that topic and I find it's easier to post that stuff than to edit my previous one.


hmmm.. maybe we should call this the confession session
