Hey, I am kinda new to this and i am wanting to know what some of the language around the forum means...Some in particular would be "bumped" and "Flaming" or "flame-baiting" if you could help me i would really appreciate it. Nothing is worse than not knowing the language and missing out. Thanx in advance

Well, since Sir posted a link... anyway...
Bumping a thread is posting so it will be "bumped" to the top of the list.
Flaming is insulting someone, particularly in a crude fashion, OOC. Some IC flaming is allowed as far as I've seen, as long as you keep it within limits (like, calling the Information Minister of your arch-rival a "flaming queen"). Flamebaiting is a post that's just this side of insulting, and usually intended to provoke a rise out of the recipient.
