Bump (Internet)

To bump a thread on an Internet forum is to post a reply to it purely in order to raise it to the top of the list of active threads.

Thread bumping is commonly considered a breach of netiquette and some moderated forums forbid it.

Bumping old or inactive ("dead") threads is occasionally called "necroposting" or "thread necromancy", and the bumping posts referred to as "frankenposts".

"Dead" threads that are reawakened are often called "thread necros". People who resurrect old threads are often called "threadomancers".

On some boards, resurrecting an old thread that has run its course and has been inactive for a period of time (usually anywhere from a few days to a month) is prohibited. The acceptable practice is usually to start a new thread and link to the old thread so that readers can become familiar with the background information.

in other words........

STOP BUMPING THIS THREAD
