I'm not sure about 'ttt' although I think it's 'To the top'. 'bump' is just replying in a thread that is down a ways on the list to get back to the top of the list so it can potentially get more views.

I've asked this in the past, we're all stupid at some point.

ttt = To The Top
bump = To The Top of the thread lists

There have actually been several threads lately wanting to know the same thing. Search is your friend.

To The Top and bump are the same thing.

rocco's been here longer. I had the same thought last June when I joined up. Took me a while, but I finally figured it out.

I even made my own up: WADR -- with all due respect (which usually means, none). I use it and baffle everyone with it, even rocco.! and he knows lots of stuff.
