Well, it's just against Forum Policy I suppose.I have no clue, but he posted until one year later..so I assume he isn't dead....then again...he might.....but funny how his dater registered is set to be after his posts...hehe....
So, Forum Policy is undemocratic? I don't know whether that's good or bad though...netiquette...what else are they gonna come up with? I thought to 'bump' meant to bump, like in bumping into someone or something.

Well, this is a private forum so obviously there are rules.....but you have rules in a democracy as well. But yeah, basically Raz can do with this forum what he wants...it is his.
And I guess it derived from that,...you know bump into the thread to get it back up.

I honestly can't see anything wrong with someone who'se not the starter of the thread in question bumping it. Can you?

if its a pointless bump then yes, there is something very wrong with it.
but like i said, if you genuinely care then pm queeq since he's the only thread participant who still posts here regularly.

You have just proved that this thread still does have active involvement by replying to our posts! 😆 Why do you say the topic is over?

How can the bump be pointless if an interested poster such as myself, expresses interest in a thread which was informative by intention, but which is still unfinished in its purpose?
Well, the thing is that there are people who just post the last thread. And they might pretend to be interested, but in fact they just derive pleasure from bumping old threads And that is pointless. I don't see the big problem, I have to admit but if it is forum policy...and we all agreed to that policy, we should stick to it.

And you are setting the example here? By posting in a bumped thread?

Well, since it is bumped it isn't really of any matter anymore. The Moderators will take action that they find appropriate, but as for now I can participate in whatever kind of conversation is going on here.
We are confronted with this situation now and we have to deal with it. It is not against any rules to post in an already bumped thread.....the actual bumping is what is not liked.

so, i try to help and you ignore me, twice. its becoming more and more apparent that you dont really care about the topic or author of this thread. it seems you just have something to prove.
9 times out of 10 times mods close bumped threads. So actually this bumping of a thread did everyone a disservice, and will hopefully do a service once a mod sees it. So it kind of cancels out if you are bored enough to be into that sort of thing. That kind of information would probably appeal to someone who bumps really, really old threads.

I pulled it out of my arse.
Sorry I can't understand it, I suppose it is some sort of Dutch? I guess it has similarities to German, but I couldn't really tell what you said.
