people "bump" their posts to bring them back up to the top of the list of threads so that more people can see it
you can do it every 30 minutes but someone'll probably correct you and tell you to do it every hour or two

1. this is in the wrong thread section 2. people "Bump" to bring up their thread so more people can see it, but only bump once every 30 minutes but it isn't always needed. Also don't bump too much as it gets annoying after a while half the post being you or others saying "Bump"

BUMP stands for bring up your post. People bump their threads to bring their thread up to the top of the forum, where people are bound to see it.

Case in-point: Bringing a thread back to life.

I honestly though it was obvious, but it's just to get the thread back up to the top of the list if it get's buried into a second page

It's now in the right place. You two could have just reported it and I could've moved it hours ago.

Next time how about helping us out by reporting instead of trying to do our jobs? =p
