    Well, it is SUPPOSE to be to "bump" a topic to the top of the forum to allow for more discussion, but a lot of people use it to mark a post in order to read it later.

    As other topics or threads get posted someone's favorite may get moved into a lower position which will cause you to have to search and search to find it, bumping a topic brings it back to the top of the list so it's an easier and more accessible topic to monitor or follow.

    Doesn't matter what you say, as long as you reply somehow.

    Picture you twitching your booty to the left or right and hitting the thread back to the top of the page. That is a bump.
