Bumps in threads like this one aren't considered bumps. I'm sure I wrote this before:
Bumps are considered in fact only in threads:
1. Dedicated for track or car. So this what is being posted everyday in corresponding sections.
2. About some problem which was already solved.

And in all threads like:
1. WiP's and ideas.
2. Nickname, music taste, your designs, pictures etc.
3. Abandoned WiP's.
etc.

bumps are not considered as problem.

@down
I need to bookmark it.

And a post with something important, useful, just something with actual material is always a good post. Even if it propably bumped a thread back up after a month of silence. In the case of a track being bumped, the reason has to be very good, like posting a new version in the first post and then posting a bump to notice that yup, it's updated now. If you find out a track let's say 3 months after the release and you think the track is REALLY GOOD 5/5!!!1, you don't need to go post it there because the creator most likely already knows that the track is REALLY GOOD 6/5 since it has been said by 5+ other users already. Now, if you do an in depth review of a goodish track that needs maybe some fixing and you have some good hints on how the creator and maybe the other users too can improve their designs, I'd say it is a good bump (and there is no need for 3 people to come and say BUMPEDY BUMPEDY zomg it has been exactly 29 days since the thread was started you can't post here).

In the off-topic area with these "your mom's dog's name" threads, the bump posts most likely have something new, maybe by a new member, maybe by an old member who has changed something since the life has gone on. So these are good posts, good bumps. But responding to these kind of threads about them bumping the thread is a bad post. Or then just giving a random response to the irrelevant part of the original post is a bad post. Or if you do, at least do it in a creative and constructive way that gives a reason on why you, for example, agreed on something.

A good bottom line is, always bring something new and important in all of the posts.

OK, since nickchange I'm Herbal. But where does that come from? Well... not from your green toothpastes. :P It has more with my original name to do, and nowadays I've felt DXTR a bit too hackerish... :D

For me...

ksm is my full name in short-form, 314 is the first 3 digits in pi. No decimal place unless you want me to be named ksm3.14 (which is silly in a way)

I used pi probably because my brother knew too much about it that I use it with my name since many online names have 3 digits.

PS: This name was created in 2006 where I was still 10 years old

Sorry for bumping this topic, but I would like to post there how I decide my nick.

One of my favourite TV series is 'Whale Wars' and it is about the non-profit organisation Sea Shepherd http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_Shephe ... on_Society . This group protects sealife, especially whales and it fights against whalers. A vessel of that group is 'MY Bob Barker' so I decided to choose it for my nick, but it could be also called 'Steve Irwin', 'Gojira', 'Robert Hunter', 'Farley Mowat', 'Ady Gil' etc. because these vessels are/were part of its fleet.

Since you seem to be from outside the US, I'm curious - do you know who Bob Barker actually is?

I actually don't, but I read a :wiki: article about him and he is a TV show host. The vessel is called 'Bob Barker' because the SSCA purchased it and he donated $5,000,000 to the organisation.

Well, if you say so! I'll post the source of mine but I had thought that after a long time (two years) and was hit and had to delete it.

I Have Decided to first Fabrix007 for a game. By Fabrizio who's name you add an X, and I love James Bond (Agent 007) and then add it. And then I Realized I'm Fabrix but one thing. There are numbers That Are straight and curved as 1, 2, and 7 and then I put the 127 instead of 007. But one day I SHOCK against the keyboard as I pressed the shift several times and I'm Ol7hYa! then I did it again on purpose but I'll HNJ75dj5 and was very long and I did not like. Actually Kizzy at school tell me! but I do not like the webs. Finally I'll Ol7hYa
