I just want to remind everyone that bumping is not allowed--even if you type something besides the word "bump."

If a thread has not been posted to for several months, please do not revive it just to bring it to the front page.

Thank you.

Yes, that is the rule. However, that is not what was happening.

What was happening was a rather transparent attempt to revive old threads with lots of posts so they would not be purged and people's post counts would not drop

To my knowledge, the only threads I "bumped" were threads I thought I could make a significant contribution to *and* threads that weren't that long to begin with (a few pages max).

But I will try to be even more careful to only bump threads that will still be of an ongoing interest.

(The only day I did any reviving of old threads was a day I was a few posts short of an SG yahtzee. )

I try to not revive 'dead topic' threads.

Status: offline 		FYI, I promise I'm not bumping. I've been busy writing a thesis and haven't been on in a while so I'm just trying to catch up on what's been posted.

Status: offline 		The solution is simple. Just purge a thread after 30 days or something similar. It gets confusing when reviewing whether it is new or old. If the topic is that good, let it come up again with new info.

Also, I remember in the late 70's a dance called the Bump. Is that allowed here?

Not if I have anything to do with it.
