Whenever someone posts a new thread other peoples posts go under it, so people post Bump to bump the thread back up to the top of the list so more people can see it.

Thanks Auzlizardking, but I still don't get it.

Thanks DragonKeeper. Your post wasn't there when I typed mine. Now I get it. It doesn't take me long, especially if you draw me a picture.

You post something esp For Sale. Then someone else posts, then someone else etc. Your thread then disappears of the "front page" so you "bump" it to bring it back into view so it gets noticed!
