Bumping threads

[Blinger]

o hi guys.
curious why you can't bump threads like this http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=744827 ?

I think you should be allowed to bump a thread if the thread serves a purpose like mine one actually did. Notice how before I bumped it ONE person replied and as soon as I bumped it it got 10 replies or something?

forgot what else i wanted to say.

I think that should be allowed as long as it's not too old, which it is not. Like up to 3-4 months there, because after that the replies wouldn't be current.

[Blinger]

Yeah and it was a genuine question not something like "hey wotz da time?" Or "what channel is the news on" or some ********

[Charlie]

I think that should be allowed, you were asking a genuine question and you didn't bump it after like a month of not having replies to it.

It's because you didn't add anything constructive rather than 'bump'. If you were to say what your ex jobs pay was or reply to someone else then it probably would have stood. Not saying I agree that this shouldn't be allowed but I remember my thread didn't get bumped yet it took a few days to a week to get a reply so I think time could be the reason as to why many didn't reply.

I think the thread creator should be allowed to bump to an extent though.

If it servers a purpose then yeah it should be allowed but if its a thread from 2006 in spam about how runny someones milkshake is then i don't agree the thread should stay open, stop living in the past +*+

I think some people are misunderstanding the edit It wasn't edited because of the age of the thread but rather because the post itself is pointless, hence the "Do not pointlessly bump threads".

[Blinger]

Which is what I'm saying! Before I bumped it, the thread got ONE reply, after the bump (it was halfway down the list of threads) it actually got replies I was looking for.. and it was a legitimate topic!

i think the thread creator should be allowed to bump regardless of their "bump" post personally.

It doesn't make your post any less pointless though It isn't a lot to ask that you add more to your post than just "Bump" is it?
