>>394831 You know saging a thread doesn't actually make it die any quicker, and saying "sage" won't change anybody's mind if they intend to bump the thread. Only 2 types of sages actually fulfill any type of purpose.
The first is saying something in a sage, as the reason for the post would be to get your message (probably negative) out while not bumping the thread. Yelling "sage" is not saying anything that makes any bit of a difference. Now if you said "people should stop bumping this because it is going nowhere" in your sage, you'd be accomplishing something.
The second means of actually DOING something with a sage is to include a picture, which would make the thread reach the image limit quicker and would cripple a thread relying on images, thus letting it die off quicker. These types of posts obviously don't need to have a written message, but rarely is a thread with lots of pictures disliked enough for a sage to be appreciated, and in threads with low picture counts this won't be very effective anyway.
By doing neither of the aforementioned ideas you accomplish little to nothing here. It is as if the thread was not bumped or altered in any way other than the post count, and the post count limit is rarely ever exceeded (if a limit even exists on pictureless posts). One of the best strategies would probably be to kill two birds with one stone and post a picture AND a message, the picture thus drawing peoples' attentions to the post itself so you can get your point across.
