There's probably no need to bump this, since this part of the site doesn't have very much traffic; the thread will probably remain on the first page of Journals for about 7-8 weeks and be able to be seen when someone clicks on this section. The posts at the bottom of the page were last updated about 2 months ago and that is pretty average. Trust me, this thing ain't moving anywhere anytime soon. If that is someone's username in the title, it WILL be seen when they click on Journals. If not, then why only bump it once? Why not bump it every single time another thread is updated in this section? That way they don't even need to click on Journals to see it; it will be the most recently updated thread in this section and be seen without even clicking on the section itself.
That won't be creepy at all.
