    when people shoot a thread back to the top of lets say, the first page. That's not allowed here on ForgeHub

    Posting something irrelevant on an old thread.

    Bumping can also be double posting so as to knock your thread or the thread in question back to the top of a forum so it's noticed. Obviously, this is majorly frowned upon here at FH and should be avoided. XD

    Bumping generally applies to people posting on their own map thread with no meaning to their post other than to get the map to be at the top of the list again. It is looked down upon and often results in infractions.

    The main point is; don't do it.

    Give meaning to your posts.
