Kizor: Removed explanatory text to maintain the awesomeness of only having that picture; this I consider a reasonable trade-off since anyone with some experience with forums or possibly USENET knows what the term means. As an attempted polite appeasement to those who are more practical and less awesome, here is the explanatory text.
Molly Walker: (not experienced with forums or USENET) So the YKTTW Bump is like...poking something with a stick to see if it's still alive? "Something" being a near-dead YKTTW thread?
Gemmifer: But, what does that mean?
Citizen: Unfortunately, no one can be told what the YKTTW Bump is. You have to see it for yourself.
Gemmifer: Oh, I see. Yes, I should have figured it out.
Meta4: In Gemmifer's defense, the article used to just be that picture. No text.
Recon5 The image pothole is disturbing...
Cassy: Man, this is hilarious! The picture is Made Of Win! I came across this page after 4 in the morning and I can say it has a definite hallucinatory quality. (Later:) Seriously, if I had known YKTTW was so fun I'd have started posting there earlier.
