Default Educate Me!!

OK, guys (and gals), I have been a member for about a year and really do not post much. But the burning question I have in browsing thru a ton of post is....What the he11 is "ttt" and "bump"???

I know some of you are saying, "Is this guy a dumba__ or what?" (Hopefully only a few!!) But this has been bugging me all day!!! I have to admit this is the best Corvette forum on the net! Thanks again to help educate the less gifted in forum speak!!

any message will send your post "to the top". These are just two words people use for free "bumps" to get more views on their threads.

No stupid questions on here. If you don't know what something is, ask. Best way to learn IMO.

Say no one is commenting on your thread and you want it to goto the top again so people can see it and answer it. Then you comment on the thread and type ttt or bump.
