FabSwingers.com forum: How many times can you nudge your own thread?

Today i learned there is a loop hole that means you can break the 175 comment barrier, extra long forum thread titles mess up the screen configuration and what a spinner girl is.

So how many times can you nudge your own thread with out breaking forum rules?

I find it embarrassing when people bump their own threads. That wookie dude used to do it to all his threads and I used to think it as a bit sad.

I’ve had threads that I’ve loved to have had answers on but I’ve had to watch them drop off the page and die a death with not even one response!

Often wondered how they post after it fills up. It's a kind of magic

Isn’t repetitive posting quickly on a thread seen as spamming?

Something to keep in mind.

I don't count but I have bumped before for the evening crowd or similar. Sometimes I also don't reply to all at one fab visit so might be seen as bumping. Is there an etiquette when it comes to that? I think it's just feeling the moment what might work?

Possibly no limit. Could be seen as a problem if you are bumping like 10+ of your own threads (or even someone else's threads) at once and constantly.

If I start a thread and then go off to do something else. When I come back and there are new posts on it but it's dropped down I'll post replies on it.

Sometimes if it's dropped off the page with 0 posts I might bump it later in the day.

I bump up some of my stories, I know they have been enjoyed and want others to enjoy them…

Yes noticed bumping your thread does stimulate it again when saying your thread just saying ingeneral not yours specifically

Usually bumping has a gap limit (etiquette not rule) so like 12 hours or 24 etc.

And preferably don't bump a dead horse. Once or twice fine. After that, especially with zero interest, and it's an irritant to see a thread bump to the top.

Bumping a hot topic that got lost (though the 175 limit avoids this usually) is fine with the above "rules" in place.
