Mainly used in classifieds or if you want answers

If the topic goes down the page, or it goes onto the second page, then you can just bump it to the top

EDIT: but only once a day.

Whenever someone posts in a topic, it puts that topic to the top of the list for the next person(s) who browse the forum. So for instance, if you post a thread trying to sell your Mod bike and no one has replied, it may be at the bottom of the list of topics now. Most people only look at the first dozen or so topics I'd say, so posting "bump" or "ttt" (to the top) in a topic puts it back at the top of the list where more people are likely to look at it.

Such a waste of your time and energy.

Not really, i almost never look beyond page 2 for buying because most of that stuff is old and half the time already sold.

And also by posting my opinion about how BUMPing isnt a waste of time i have BUMPed this topic to the top where more people can read about it and perhaps post their own opinions therefor perpetuating the cycle.
