Just wondering,

reading through the message boards, I see a lot of people posting the word "BUMP,"

Can someone please tell me what this means?

Thanks

Bump is there just to keep the board on the top of the list. So just putting bump in brings makes it the newest post.

It is usually used by very desperate, needy, impatient or self serving individuals who demand attention be paid to their thread or post no matter how mundane or silly.

Shouldn't this be on the off topic? (BTW.... BUMP!)

33. You keep talking about this bump? What is it, like bumper cars?

When you post a new message on a thread, it goes to the top of the "list" of all threads on the board. So BUMP sort of stands for Bring Up My Post or something like that. I don't know. You could think of it as "bumping" the thread to the top.

And it doesn't matter where it is. You could go to the very last page of the Broadway message board and post in the last thread that's there and it would automatically be the first thread on the board. However, please don't bump topics that are over a year old (unless it's for a specific purpose). We had a "I Think Brooklyn is going to be the biggest show of the year..." thread bumped up not too long ago..and I went in to point and laugh at the poster, but alas, it was a fairly old topic. And most people forget to check the date it was originally posted.


People should read the FAQ...
