What does "bump" mean?

[maibravo]

Hey domainers. So newbie question. What's this "bump" people write under sale posts?
Also, I have a few domains I'm happy to try to sell. Assuming I know how to transfer them to a buyer, I am ready to just advertise them on here and hope for the best, yes?

Bump infinity means the domain is junk.

 

[iowadawg]

Hey, forge said it right.
Go to the domains for sale and see how many have 2, 3 or even 4 pages of nothing but bumps!

 

[cocaseco]

And then one day...Sold, the right buyer comes around and saw it because you bumped it.

 

[iowadawg]

Sure, keep bumping.
If you believe that 3 pages of bumps brings finally a buyer.

 

[maxking2000]

yes even buyer can appear after 10 pages of bump as well

A thread in the forum will be pushed down over time when there is no new posts or views. Add a "Bump" or anything in the thread will bring the thread to the top of the search results.

It also means you have broken rule
1.14. Do not make noncontributory posts/threads or artificially inflate your post count ("post pad"):

• Do not unnecessarily post multiple times in a single discussion in a short period of time, sometimes called instant messaging (instead, take your time before posting so that all relevant content can be grouped together within a minimum amount of posts). Exceptions are made where reasonable (e.g., edit time limits have passed or each reply is dedicated to a different member's post).
• Only post comments and questions that are relevant to the topic and contribute to the discussion (e.g., posting a single word like "bump" is not contributory; instead, post a short question or unique comment to encourage new activity in a thread).

[Matt Morgan]

Bumping posts can be used to bring them back to the top so that they get visited by the forum users.

As others have said there are other meanings too.

 

[ReyUmm]

Bump is an online slang term for the practice of posting filler comments to move a post to the top of a discussion thread, increasing a message or thread's status and visibility.

 

[Sourav Patel]

Bump is useful only if your domain name is great...or else it is just a waste of time.
