I still laugh at how 4chan doesn't understand what sage means.
If only I knew moon so I wouldn't have to spend time on a board that imports foreign concepts and then DOES IT WRONG all the time.
Using sage as a way to "insult" someone's post or thread is just completely wrong and a retarded misuse of a good feature that is so popular in sites like 2ch and Futaba. Fuck, iichan and 4-ch do it right. It's just 4chan and 4chan's lame knockoffs that fail at using sage.
The true meaning of sage means that YOUR POST isn't worthy enough to bump the thread. It's ironic, because you think that you're insulting others while you're just, in fact, insulting yourself. Yes, sage can be used when posting a derogatory comment in a thread that you don't want to bump, but posting with just the word "sage" accomplishes nothing but contribute to spamming the board. The trend of replying with the name of a tripfag and sage is even worse, as it accomplishes nothing and only serves to increase the e-penis of whoever you're "attacking".
The sage feature was never meant to serve as an implied insult or general disagreement! Why people started using it that way is beyond me. There are plenty of reasons why one would choose not to bump a thread with his reply. For example, bumping threads with stupid one liner replies should be discouraged and those people should be coerced into using sage instead.
I want to use sage, yet I almost never do it on 4chan because people will jump on me thinking I'm insulting their post or something.

The Sage is a job class in Final Fantasy III. It is gained in the Eureka in the original, while it is gained from the Earth Crystal in the DS version. Sages are highly adept mages who have mastered all levels of the black and white arts. While they have numerous techniques at their disposal, their MP is limited compared to those spell casters who are more specialized.

[edit] NES version
* Special Ability - All Black, White, and high Summon Magic
The Sage has the ability to cast every magic in the game, as well as the high level summon magic, making them a real threat. MP growth is higher than the Shaman, Warlock, and Summoner, so the Sage effectively makes those classes obsolete.
[edit] DS version
* Special Ability - All Black and White Magic; White and Black Summon Magic
MP growth is limited, meaning they can't use the high level magics as much as the Devout, Magus, or Summoner; additionally, they are only capable of using the Evoker versions of Summon Magic.

sage is more commonly used on 2ch to keep decent conversations off of the front-page home of trolls and spammers. You can find highly active threads just below the visible ones on some 2ch boards. It's a polite thing to do, but so much to be humbling as it is to be nice to others to keep the good topics away from the threadshitters.
sooo...is it when a post is really good and you want to keep it up without bumping and reaching reply limit...or when it's so sucky, you want it to get deleted and not bumped?

Is it when your reply is so sucky that doesn't even deserve the right to bump the thread.
or when it's so sucky, you want it to get deleted and not bumped
My rule is to sage unless I'm performing an exquistite HMA deriviate

Saging can be helpful. I bet there are quite some interesting discussions going around here which we don't know about because there are saging some old thread.
