What the heck does "bump" mean? I never understood it. Does it "bump" the conversation's topic back to the one meant for it? Like if a chat got off-topic, if you bumped you would go back to what was originally discussed?

8-)I believe it's to get your thread back to the top of/first page it seems to be used for popular forums where you have to be a ''hot'' thread in order to stay at the top were people will find you.
though of course I could be completely wrong

So if you say bump, a forum admin moves your post up? ._.

Actually no it's generally against the rules becuase your making a useless post (many times it's litarally someone posting the word ''bump'') only to make a thread higher in the listing when it's not actually that popular. which is unfair to the actually popular threads...but thats a n argument im not getting into.
