Disscussion about "Bumping"

[Liv]

Now we all know that there has been "Bumps" going around.
The Mods+Admins have tried to stop it with their new rule, but if you really want this to stop I have a way.

MY THEORY

These "Bumpers" have "Bumped" many threads, and I have been watching. It seems that guests(robots) have been looking at extremely old topics. This is the supplier.
The Mods would have to cut off the suppliers, and most likely the rate of bumping may go down. I am aware of the warning which is given after a bump, but people may still do it. Also if old threads are stored away from member viewing the bump rate will go down since no supplier.

For Further information on bumping visit these two threads-OCM's thread about bumping
and

KingKombat's thread about bumped topics and the "Health" of TBT.

Cutting out the guests probably won't do much. Because they can't do anything.

They look at old threads from years ago. And I believe that's were "bumpers" go for old topics.

That's not where bumpers find them. They just find them in the forums.

And what if I want to look at an old topic?

Ask to lock this.

My theory Bumpers are morons who can't read. Guest are non-member looking at the board.

Well people can't even see what the guests are doing, unless they're in the same thread. So basically your whole theory is wrong.

Fail. It's called a Active Users list. I can see what everyone is doing.
