I'd argue a "bump" is not "new" activity nor is selling one domain per thread, or the same set of links re-packaged multiple times into different salesmanship angles.

For weeks, even months, every time I looked in there, the same list of threads would be there over and over (or some variation of the same content/domain/links etc for sale, just creatively worded differently). In the end, the forum was nothing but clutter and spam, and endless bumping -- more especially by a few specific people.

One thing I noticed was that people I used to see offering stuff basically seemed to give up as even sellers were getting tired of dealing with the bumping and multiple threads for the same/similar stuff. The result of that nonsense seems to be fewer sellers now than there used to be.

The actual content is the same from what I can see, just now it's not full of useless bumping and endless threads on every little item.

I said it earlier... but if it were up to me, there would be no bumping allowed at all. And if someone "needs" more than one thread or needs it at the top of the forum, I think Eric should charge them a listing fee like any other sponsor does on this board (paying for a sticky).

Frankly, I think it's amazing how so many people complain about a forum provided to them for free -- in which they can make money -- and still want more without paying for it.
