When you post in your own topic just to bring it to the top of the list for people to see. Minimum wait time to bump a topic is five days after the latest post.

Or say you find a mod on the 10th page of Halo 2 Downloads and its date posted was 5th jul 2005. And the latest reply for it was 2nd august 2005. Then your reply to that youve just "BUMPED" a topic that was forgotten.

In short terms:

Bringing back the dead lol

Tural, are you PARANOID? They are just having some fun mixed in with sarcasm. Why do you need to be a party-killer?

I wouldn't mind if the discussion was still going, but the question has been answered, and there isn't a reason to continue the discussion.

I was told if it was already on the first page of the forum that is not considered bumping

It's bumping any time if you post with the sole purpose of bringing the thread to the top of the page. Minimum wait time to bump a topic is five days.
