Hello! Today I'll be teaching you how to use the "sage" function.
What this feature does is allow you to post a comment without bumping the thread. You do this by typing "sage" (with no capitals) into the "options" field of your comment.
Now, you might be asking yourself "why should I do that?" Well, using sage lets you post in a garbage thread without bumping it, that way it'll hit page 10 and be deleted sooner, and this makes the board a better place.
The word sage is not pronounced like the plant, but instead as "sah-geh." This is due to its Japanese origins, it comes from the word sageru which means "to lower." It was adopted for use on Yea Forums, but since it's no longer possible to see when another user is using sage the use and knowledge of it has quickly dropped.
fuck you, I'm not saying sah-geh in my head whenever I sage a thread. I choose to believe that it's a reference to the poster being a sage for recognizing that the thread is not worthy of a bump.
they really should just have a tickbox for no bumping like some other boards have i mean it wouldn't be hard to program and they have a fucking tickbox for spoiler pics ffs
