martinfan5 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Joseph, when you see the word bump, its meaning that someone is trying to bump a thread back to top of the list so it gets seen again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 As seen mostly in wanted or trade postings, "bump" is simply bumping the thread up to new content when it has been unanswered for a period of time. An example of this is you post that you want or need a blinker fluid bottle for a 2975 XYZ, and nobody answers for a week, you would "bump" the thread back to the top of the list in the "Wanted" section. That way, someone who may have missed the posting before may see it the second time around, and you just might get your elusive part!

Danno Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Every time I think up a witty retort to something inane, it gets deleted before I can post my pithy observation. Every time I go back to review the other nonsense in order to conjure up a witty pithy, the whole dang thread gets locked. I'm gonna quit this wild, unruly forum and go to that other one where nothing is allowed aloud! I'm also gonna join IPMS and learn to enumerate rivets.

Dr. Cranky Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Yes, but did your children build models and then go on forums where their imaginations would be expanded in ever so many directions? We must protect the young model builders from getting crazy ideas in their head. They should only build box stock, and keep their minds beautiful and clean.
