because it's over used and is in the same basket as many of the lounge acronyms that have hopefully died off (haven't looked in a while)

OK, dumb question perhaps... and I know it is NOT an acronym... but what does it mean when people just reply "bump" on their own post?

Thanks,

Damn, very cool, I made it in this thread

Long story short...

My screen name back in the day was 5LITEREATER on multiple boards. It was taken on here so I just upgraded to 6LITEREATER (the 6.0s had just come out and I was spraying so I still felt it was legit, way more done to my car now).

One day I made a splitter for my car and it turned into a business (getting parts made for our cars no one else would) and some douche bag had just bought www.6LITEREATER.com thinking he could sell it to me, I said f@ck off and called it www.6LITEREATERDESIGNS.com

I started making packages out of different things and at the time RaptorWS6 had started calling me "6LE" for short.

I liked how it reminded me of the "1LE" packages some F-Bodies had and started calling things the "6LE xxxx" to shorten the name, thread topics, etc...

Thus, 6LE refers to my screen name "6LITEREATER" or my company "6LITEREATER DESIGNS"
