The question's in the title "How do you bump topics without posting?".

 

 

 

Thanks in advance!

You can't.

Why not? Seems like it will lead to alot of spammy topics with people posting the word 'bump', it's hard to have a blogspce achievement if you can't actually show anybody else it, defeats the purpose, does it not?

Bumping a dead topic to the top without adding anything to it IS spam even if you don't write "bump" to get it there.

 

 

 

Your blog will stay at the top provided you post updates. Imagine how it would be if everyone kept bumping their posts to the top without adding anything. It would be a mess.

You can't. That's the point.

 

 

 

As for posts that say "Bump". These posts are suually in places like BlogScape, where the poster actually receives no credit for that post in their post count. So, really, it's irrelevant.

 

 

 

"Bump" posts anywhere else usually = removed.

 

 

 

We don't wanna turn Tip.It into the RSOF's ridiculously high bump-rate. Therefore, we simply don't provide this tool. If people cared about the topic, they'd keep it alive themselves.

I care about my topic, but I don't want to ruin it by 50% of it being simply me typing bump, oh well, I guess that's me decided not to use it because of this feature not being there.

If the thread was of interest to everyone else on the forum, they would be replying to it and discussing the topic you have posted. If you have a need to constantly keep bumping your thread, the community doesn't see any value in it. The market place doesn't really matter how much you bump, since posts don't get counted toward your post count and are removed after a few days of inactivity anyway.

Bump tools...yuck-.-.

 

 

 

However bump time delay could solve some issues that most of you seem to dislike.

 

 

 

But as always that wouldn't solve everything, and would probably cause more hassle. ^^ Though I hope the bump tool never gets implemented on Tifs. I'd rather have a reply that ignites an idea related to the topic, and then could possibly move on from there, rather then a bump, with the last post being three weeks ago. Or what will probably be 10% of the bumps a one sentence post, thats either very far off from the main topic, or it does, but has already been discussed from that angle.

I can understand it anywhere else, but in blogscape people tend to not post on topics that are not already big, and your topic goes off the page within 2 minutes of posting soemthing else on it, kind of a hassle.

This is where you keep you blog updated with whatever your blogging about. Every large update should be a new post, if your blog is on the 2nd page. Small updates should be editted in the last post you've made.

 

 

 

Yes you shouldn't do this, but most of the large blogs did this to start out with. :-#

 

and it continues to this day.

nothing wrong with posting on your own topic twice if it is past page 1.
