I was wondering the same thing. According to google, it means to reply to a post just to raise the thread's profile. (Hope that's right. )

they reply bump to get the post or topic moved back up the line so that more ppl see it, they usually do this if they like the post.

It means I really wish people would learn how to use the Search feature for the message boards. It's actually a really good feature.

Some people bump so that the thread is more active and bring it back up on the boards, and some people bump so they can come back to a thread they found interesting but didnt have time to read for whatever reason

It doesn't have to be the word 'bump', that's just how its evolved.
It works for any short simple word you post.
You could type the word 'loveseat' and it would still bump the topic to the top of the list.
You aren't contributing anything to the post, just trying to keep the post near the top of the list.
Sometimes they say "Bump to the top"

People use bump to get that topic to show up on their topics so they can find it easy later.
