Bump is just a say that they're pushing a thread back to the top of the front page.

When someone posts, it moves the thread to the top of latest posts. So a bump is a post designed to that.

'bttt' is another message that may be posted -- short for back to the top.

In addition, 'pings' are designed to flag certain posters over to a particular thread.

Awwww, I can't believe you just said that?! You can't "Bump", you're 'new', remember? Only 'old' people can 'Bump'. It's in the rule book, you did read the rule book didn't you?!

You can probably slide by this time, but just don't "BTTT" or you'll really be in for it. Consider it a little friendly advice.

By the way, welcome!
