heh. It's forum-speak. When a thread gets old, it gets replaced with threads that have more recent posts. So if someone wants to put an older thread back on the first page, they make a post and say "bump" because they're bumping it back up to the first page.

A push or a reply to a thread to the top of the page

To bump a thread on an Internet forum is to post a reply to it purely in order to raise the thread's profile. This will typically return it to the top of the list of active threads. It has been suggested that "bump" is an acronym of "bring up my post",[1] however this is almost certainly a backronym and the usage is entirely consistent with the verb "bump" which means "To knock to a new position".[2] It can also be used in personal messages (PMs) or instant messages (IMs) on the Web, to return an older message to the top of the list.

Many Internet forums show as their first page a list of the 20–50 topics or "discussion threads" most recently posted to. Someone wishing to keep a thread on this first page—or bring an old thread back to it—will post a reply to it purely to do this. Posters who are open about this simply write the word "bump". Acceptable reasons range from wanting to remind others that the question with which the thread started is still unanswered to offering new information that relates to an old thread; doing it simply to raise a thread's profile is generally as unwelcome as spam.

Thanks in advance..
There are NO dumb newbie questions, only dumb newbies...

To answer your question (notice I didn't say it was dumb), let me illustrate:



That is a bump.

Now hurry back to the first page of the forum, and you will see that this thread (by some miracle) is aligned chronologically with the bump image.

I know...crazy, right?

Bump means, that the webmaster just discovered a spot on his face and now needs some porn information to calm him down.

Pretty much like living anywhere. You notice what is shit about it and think everywhere else looks nicer but if you bother to move you then find out your dream destination isn't perfect either.

That sounded a bit of a depressing answer

Bumps: Objects in the road, a rash or warts, a small hill, making a topic refresh to the top.
