"what the hell does bump mean?"
According to Wikipedia it means -
"To bump a thread on an Internet forum is to post a reply to it purely in order to raise the thread's profile. This will typically return it to the top of the list of active threads. It has been suggested that "bump" is an acronym of "bring up my post", however this is almost certainly a backronym and the usage is entirely consistent with the verb "bump" which means "To knock to a new position". It can also be used in personal messages (PMs) or instant messages (IMs) on the Web, to return an older message to the top of the list."
However I don't actually think that the forums here work that way.. but it just makes it look like a thread has had more responses to the original thread in the forum list. So would probably make people think that the topic is interesting and worth looking at.

As a child I was often woke during the night to the sounds of 'bump bump bump' it stemmed from my parents room, I always thought they knitted or did crosswords after dark!
