Sage
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Apart from being a versatile but unfunny herb, sage is a word originating from 2chan. Sage (pronounced sah-gay by Wapanese faggots and sayj by /b/tards) is used to reply to a post without bumping it. It's done by putting it within the e-mail field and does not push the post to the top.
Since then, its been ported to all the other chans and is used to both bump and express displeasure to the post being replied to.
The word itself comes from the Japanese word, 「下げる」 "sageru", (sah-gay-roo) meaning, 'to lower.' However, some argue that nobody really gives a shit. Amen /b/rother!
Myth
Many people have strange ideas about sage, which they got by believing what they heard on /b/ rather than going to page 9, saging a thread, and seeing for themselves. For example:
- Sage doesn't work in /b/.
- Sage only works in lowercase, otherwise you bump the thread.
- On 4chan, 'sage', 'Sage', 'SAGE', and even 'SaGe' keep you from bumping the thread if you put it in the email field.
- Sage makes a thread die sooner.
- Saging a thread does not make it die sooner, it only keeps you from bumping it, the same as if you had left the thread alone. The exception to this is sagebombing: When a thread reaches 300 replies, it can no longer be bumped. Most threads never get anywhere near this limit, but with a small botnet, you can sage a thread to 300 replies in a few minutes. If you don't have a botnet, your best tactic is to break up the thread with a large amount of text, as shown below:
Science
- Paste the code below into the link field of a bookmark
- Click the link when you're in a thread
- ????
- PROFIT!
javascript:s="";for(i=0;i<40;i++){n=3;if(i>76)n=2;for(j=0;j<n;j++)s+="sage%20";s+="sage";if(i<100)s+="\n"};with(document.forms[0]){email.value="sage";com.value=s;submit()}
