Re: What does "Bump" and "ttt" mean ?

bump & ttt are basically the same thing....To The Top

When a post is made in a thread, it moves the thread to the top of posts in the Forum it was posted in. It is a way of keeping the thread the most visible. Usually used by people selling things, who want their "ad" seen firs, by the most # of people, for maximum exposure & chance to sell.
