"Bump" Definition?

[ascherjim]

I feel rather dense, but in equipment for sale postings, what does the term "bump" mean?

 

[rwest1389]

its just something to post to "bump" your thread back up to the top of the list

It's an invitation for hot nasty sex.

Again, I feel somewhat dense. What purpose does it serve, i.e., what is to be gained by "bumping" your thread to the top of the list -- and what list? Doesn't any new posting in the same thread accomplish the same thing?

After a day or so, more threads get created and push your thread down where no one sees it. You bump up the thread to make it go to the front page/ top of the list where it is most visible to members so they can post to it.

Hmm.... It would seem my post has been spirited away to the void.

I'll bump this thread by saying you're not dense for asking. Everyone was a newbie at at this whole head-fi thing at one time...
