I agree Chloe. When I'm reading a story it's incredibly annoying having to scroll through all those bumps until you find the next update. And I will admit, I am guilty of just saying 'Bump' or reading a story and not posting anything. But the problem with me and criticism is that I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings by giving them critbecause I know that some people are sensitive about that and yeah… .-.
Honestly I'm one of those who will read but if I don't like it I won't comment e.e. Bumping is used to bring the story to the first page so people can see it. Well, it was. Now it's more like "I'm going to bump your story because I like it."
