Fellas
I know I know that this is gonna sound stupid however its been awile since ive been in the NEO scene but i really never left. My question is im not up with the new chat/form lingo such as what is BUMP or NE when someone uses that. Can anyone help a fellow GEOfite and give me some heads up?
Thanks BRO's

When you make a post in a thread, it "bumps" it up to the top of the heap.

When you make a post with the sole purpose of "bumping" you just say "bump"

Even saying "bump" seems to have become old hat. The more trendy thing to do is to say other things or even add symbols to your "bump".

Examples
*bump*

***B
**U*
*M**
P***

Cool, thanks. what about some of the other lingo? can you give me some tips?

As for that "ne" thing, from how I've seen it used, it's pretty damn dumb. I guess it's supposed to make the person using it (and now that I think about it, I've only seen Tora use it) sound like some cutesy Japanese anime chick. You know, the huge blinking eyes with the tiny mouth squeeling "ne ne?" as the peace symbol is flashed? Not knocking Tora personally, but all that whole dingy cutesy thing manages to do for me is bring the bile to the back of my throat.

Guess it's obvious I never liked that Sailor Moon crapola?

So a good question is. Why would someone just
*BUMP*
for no reason... or what would that be for.
To be annoying or to keep a thread alive.
