why do they say this?

i`ve been lookin` around sum forums and sometimes i see quoted messages and the person says *bump*. e.g:

quote Fairy Girl
quote Fairy Girl
Type: Banner

Size: neo limits

Description Pictures: pic

Where it says "There Were Numerous Battles Between Them". Can You Please take that out and put "Fairy Girl".

Thanks to anyone who can do it.
Bump.
usialy its quoted by the same person. i found this in the GRAPHICS AND ANIMATIONS forum. why do they say it?

re: why do they say this?

It's because they want to "refresh" their request, essentially.

re: why do they say this?

Well, when they say "bump", it usually means their request has either been forgotten or nobody just wants to do it. So, that person, renews their request, and hopes that someone does it...eventually.

re: why do they say this?

It's the Graphics Requests thread. If they're bumping their request it means the banner hasn't been made yet.

re: why do they say this?

Also, they will say either *bump* or BUMP if they want to bring back a thread.



Note: If you want to know the definition of the term BUMP, it means Bring-Up-My-Post. I use it alot.

re: why do they say this?

Ideally, it's not normally smiled upon unless it's specifically allowed in the forum. When and if you do ever BUMP a thread, at least add some new information or something and at least wait until the thread is off of the front page.

re: why do they say this?

Imagine if no one had replied to this thread. You may decide to "bump it up" to the top for more attention, just like the examples you showed.

re: why do they say this?

A bump is simply when a member tries to make a thread/forum active again, this can be done in different ways, by posting normally, posting videos, posting whatever, so long as it brings that thread back onto the first page where any visitors can see it.

In other cases, it can be used to refresh their request for graphics or whatever it may be, so it brings it to everyone's attention in case they over-looked it before.
