Aside from the annoyance factor, it is just plain bad nettiquette, and generally frowned upon in almost EVERY BB you go into. That's why it is so unnerving when someone is flamed for bumping, and they reply with... "Well, I am new to this forum, but have been in other forums, and I didn't know it wasn't allowed here." It's generally not allowed anywhere... Ugh. Ok, off of the soapbox now.
