Sometimes people will put ttt(to the top) also.

You can't sound defensive on the Internet, you'll never win. If your equally or more cocky than the person making fun of you, then you win the Internet and the offender is turned into an majano....
Wait....that's how it works right?
TTT = to the top
Up up up = to the top
^ = to the top
Etc...
b= bring
u= up
m= my
p= post

Speaking of winning the Internet, I think you just did. I just thought it meant bumping it to the top, and I think I'd be correct saying a lot of others thought so too. Little did I know it was actually an acronym...

It actually goes further than that. About three/four years back you needed to also type a minimum of four characters to create a post. Hence at some point someone came up with the term "bump" and defined what each letter meant. That is no longer needed today, but the term "bump" stuck.

Bump means you have nothing more useful to say but you feel your previous post warrants attention "now". Depending on the forum it may or may not be frowned upon. It is often used in forsale forums but many have rules about how often you can bump a thread.

I only know that about 4yrs ago due to the forum software that was in place at that time. You were required to type at least four charaters to post something, so I believe there is more to how the word "bump" came about.
I distinctly remember seeing the error kick back of you just went and type something like an "X" or a "C" to move the thread to the top.
The term itself may have been around for more than four years. I am only stating what I have witnessed over the past four years.
So I guess I will "bump" this as I have nothing more useful to say. Just being funny.

Did DILLIGAF make the list?
It is used to bring the sale thread to people attention
People use it to bump their post to the top of the discussion list. Sometimes it is silly to see people keep bumping their post because they could not sell their items and not willing to reduce the price even after a long period of time (months)

I know I look like I don't give a .... on many occasions...& I actually really don't on most!!!
Look what I just got. I would bet it is a combination of needing four characters to post and the word bump made sense... bump to the top.
Funny when I tried this a few months back the error did not appear and now it is back?
