@crooton1 @rosey77

@angel_star
If you had been here for the invasion of spambots, you would know the meaning of spam by far. That was spam beyond spam.

Also, the blog is for updates, new travels/creatures, etc. that Ian shares with us. We can comment on each post there.

If you bump is it a spam?

cqpkytty • 25 September 2011 at 12:19 PM

@lola622f
nope. Spam is a post that is unrelated to the topic (such as, "Please feed my featured!" on a roleplay). Bumps are 1-word (usually) posts that help 'bump' the topic on the Livepulse.

@cqpkytty thanks!

Well, Bumps ARE technically spam, but it's something almost everyone is guilty of XP I mean, some forums just have all bumps, and nothing about the actual Topic.😋 Whoever came up with bumps had good intentions in mind, with keeping people and their topics open, but it goes way to far a lot of times😋 You're only supposed to "Bump" a topic when the topic needs it😋

rosey77 • 25 September 2011 at 12:35 PM

No, I think bumps are okay.

Deleted • 25 September 2011 at 12:39 PM

@rosey77 I do to, but I mean, if a topic is alreDy popular enough, and is in the live pulse, does it really need a bump?😋 That's why a lot of topics get pushed down in the live pulse, because people just post bumps in a topic, so all the other topics need bumps as well to stay in the live pulse😋 I think just bumping a topic when it needs one is good enough, it doesn't need a whole litany of them😋

@icicle_9510 Hmm, I guess so. True.
