this is starting to sound like a regular occourance...i've seen quite a few posts like this, it's a messageboard, not a chat room where you are actually talking with people as you're sitting there. people don't sit infront of the computer just to reply to your own bumped threads....on the messageboard where i admin at posts like this would get moved and locked if not deleted and after so many times of doing it, the poster would get banned for bumping their own topics. we actually implimented a feature where you can't reply to a post you just posted until someone else does, it prevents double posting and unnecessary bumping of topics by the topic starter for the most part, unless someone edits a post, then the person would be able to reply after their own post again, but we don't see that happen too often.
