Forum terminology: meaning of 'bump', 'ttt', 'bttt', and 'aks'
13 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- Bump is a post made to return an earlier message to the top of the forum listing so it appears among the most recent activity.
- TTT stands for 'to the top' and serves the same function as bump.
- BTTT stands for 'back to the top' and is also used to re-elevate earlier posts.
- A courtesy practice on some forums suggests waiting three days between bump posts to avoid overshadowing new content from other users.
- AKS can stand for 'all kinds of stuff' or 'accessories' depending on context.
Depends on
- The courtesy rule about three-day intervals between bumps appears to be specific to certain forums rather than universal.
- Multiple acronyms serve the same function, suggesting variation in forum culture and user preferences.
