    bumping just means that someone is replying to the thread to keep it in the list to the right of your home page so more people can see it.

    Its a quick way to put a response on a thread and boost it to the top of active threads. In sense, bumping it to the top for people to see and comment on.

    This.

    It also puts it in the list of threads in "my topics" for easier reference.

    On every other forums, it's used to move a thread back to the top of the list, since they are sorted by most recent post date.

    Since this forum doesn't have a subscribe feature, posting 'bump' or anything in a thread will make it appear on your profile page, so people use it to "remember" threads they want to look at later.
