"bump" this means their making their thread back to the top
"bttt" means "back to the top"
"up" and again same as above
"pm" means someone sent you a "private message" on the forum
"ect" this means "and the rest" or "and so on..."

And you will get another common one going around here "lol" means "laughing out loud" If you need anymore meanings give me a private message
