Ok, i'm not upset at all, just a lil dissapointed. Whenever i post on other forums, im not surprised at all that people don't bump me, as im not there nearly as much as i am here. And i've done business with quite a few people, or at least talked to them. And i must say i'm surprised at the lack of bumping in the FS/FT. I always make a point to bump anyone i'm familiar with, and is it too much to ask to get the same back? Or maybe im just posting at a bad time?

Either way, i would AT LEAST expect people who PM/E-Mail me to bump. It used to be so much easier to get a bump :p

Maybe they're paying attention to the only-bump-every-four-hours rule?

I'm usually not bored enough to page that far back in FS/FT :) so I never bump. I've had to earn my postcount the hard way, in ATOT ;)

What's wrong with doing it yourself?

I don't trade or sell stuff much, but c'mon... if somebody wants something, they'll find it... bumping is just a waste of disk space and bandwidth...

i disagree paulson, the reason sellers need bumps are to get their threads up. not many people will go all the way to page 5. And sometimes the search tool doesn't pick up the words. :p

But there is a search tool. Also, bumping a thread causes another person's to go down the list. He/She wants to sell his/her gear as much as the next person.
