I know theres the one per day, which is fine. I dont have a prob with that. But all I was saying is I think there should be a limit to how long they can bump it. Maybe 2 weeks or a month tops. To see thread that are 6 months to a year old keep getting bumped with Zero interest is lame.

I think the best thing would be to have a person (s) go through threads and get rid of all the stuff that is no longer for sale or has been sold or traded that would clear alot of the stuff up and make things better to find. I think there's nothing wrong with 5-6 bumps a day. Some stuff i put up for sale was on the 4th or 5th page in less than an hour. I think the real problem lies with people being to lazy to go through a few pages to see if there's something they like. I guess it's easier to enforce the one bump a day for people that are on here a few times a day. That way when they get back on 8 hours later they ony need to look at the first page. What do i know, i'm just here to have fun.

I bump 3 times a day, when I get up, after work, and before i go to bed. Most of the time when I bump its on page 3 or 4 anyway where most people to don't look. i personally don't look past page 2.

There is a rule, 1 "bump" per day. The mods say threads that "bump" more than that will be deleted, but I have yet to ever see that happen.

I can understand if the mods didn't want it bumped more then once a day if it was a small forum, but some threads get all the way back to page 4 or 5 in a short period of time, so I think bumping more then once is fine. Once again, I don't think there should be a limit or length of time a thread can be bumped. Bump it as much as you want until it's sold. Heck, bump it even it's it already sold. Doesn't bother me a bit.

The rule is to bump only once per day. This is to help make it fair to everyone - and also to keep the clutter down. I have in the past gone through and removed extra "bump" posts from people who have blatantly abused the "bump," so that is less noticeable than deleting the whole post.
People get nervous when their sale is not on the first page, and occasionally go nuts at keeping it there. I really do feel that if people are shopping, they're more likely to use the search feature if they are looking for a particular product or brand, and/or browse several pages if they are just "browsing" for a type of product.

What about people bumping threads that are 6 months to a year old weekly? IMO it just sucks having to go threw this crap to find the new stuff people have for sale.. I dont see any problem in the one bump a day.. None at all, but I think it should be for a certain amount of time.. Maybe like a month or so. To go threw and have to sift threw threads that are old as hell, and dont get any interest is just annoying.
