It's because they want to "refresh" their request, essentially. ------------------- Forever be in oblivion, forever be in darkness

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. ------------------- Forever be in oblivion, forever be in darkness

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

Also, they will say either *bump* or BUMP if they want to bring back a thread. ------------------- ![]() quoteWhat does that mean!? | |

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. | |

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. ------------------- | |

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. ------------------- | |
