It dies because you are a coke. and everyone else is a pepsi
:C
i was just kidding man. nobody likes pepsi...
Well, think about it, if you're bumping a topic, that means it's fallen below a threshold of activity, it was dead before you bumped it, or else you wouldn't be bumping it at all.
Yes, but even when it is bumped to the top, everybody immediatley ignores my bump.
If people weren't interested in the topic to the point that it died what made you think bumping it would help?
That just defeats the purpose of bumping, doesn't it?
It happens with me a lot.
