I completely agree on all thos annoying good luck, good offer posts... but the pm´d you posts (and the others too thou they are stupid) have one purpose that I see...It keeps bumping your thread. If noone would relpy the thread is on page 2 after 3-4 hours. you can only have a doublepost every 6 hours and that keeps your thread on the top...

The posts would not be bumped to the next page nearly that fast as they wouldn't constantly be "bumped".

true, if all of a sudden everyone would stop bumping, but I think the chances of that happening are not that great...

Very true, would be pretty boring without comments but reading a whole page of thanks, good job!, great giveaway! and so on can be rather annoying

You're missing the point the original poster made. If the thread is locked, then no one can "bump" it.

Like the title of the thread indicates, this is just a suggestion. Well maybe more like advice. Im not saying everyone should adopt it, just those who prefer to deal via PM. The amount of threads I see where people ask to be PMd and then the thread contains one meaniful reply out of about 6 or so with the rest being just dribble.

I for one prefer to only trade via PM. If someone has a question then it is no more effort to send a PM than it is to post in the thread. This may make me out to be a paranoid tight-arse but that doesn't mean I don't give any invites out. Even Skizo has been on the receiving end of a freebie.

This was not intended to be used for all 'types' of threads, for example if you have a giveaway, you don't want your inbox filling up with peoples screenshots. Or if you have say an FTN invite and you are after a buffered OiNK you can ask people to post there buffers and everyone can see where they stand in comparison.

As for 'bumps' I think 6 hrs is short enough, thats 4 a day. I know this forum is unique in its content but from experience I have always followed the rule of 1 bump a day. Perhaps the number of threads per page could be increased from 25?
