It would appear almost nobody has caught on to the new bump feature, or else their bumps are not very powerful. I bumped all of the following non-bolded threads within the span of about half an hour. Commenting on them secures their position on the top.



Eventually people will catch on, as I think market forces will dictate that people learn the system to continue promoting their projects. But until then, good. Let people be confused and have to learn the new system. Really the ANN should be listed on a project website or other social media, and then people find it that way.

I've been following the progress of ANNs that hired Vitor Services to bump their threads. Some have stopped participating but some are still paying these schmucks to leave pointless comments in their threads, probably unaware that they aren't doing jack except for cluttering their thread with spam.
