C'mon and admit it. When we joined, we ALL had the thought in our heads "I wanna be a Sage!". I know I did. I then said "screw it" when I found out I had to write guides, be more than a little helpful and maybe even had to suck up. I was going to make some guides, but then NSider was closed, and you know the rest.
Sadly yes, I did
Yeah, I did. I thought it would be cool to have a big important rank. After awhile though, I started to figure out that just wasn't for me. By the end of Nsider, I think I would've turned it down if it was offered to me. I just didn't want to have to be a role model.
Yes, then I ended up not caring.
Early on, I thought it would be cool to get it. I was never obsessed over it, and I never went out of my way to try for it. People seemed to think I was fit for it anyway, but I have no idea why. Especially considering that at that point, I was everything a Sage isn't supposed to be.
Make sense out of that one.
I don't think I fully understood what a sage was into well into late 2004, a year after I joined; so no. ;)
I sure got lucky through. I went from an utter noob to sage two years later. :P
Yes. I doubt that there was a single new user that never felt a pang for the rank at one point or another. Moving past it and actually being a respectable, helpful forum member without the need for a shiny rank is much more important.
I didn't know what a Sage was.... at the time.
All I wanted to do was talk about SSBB...
cause it was THAT Game that brought me to the forums in the
1st place.
No. I never intended to be a sage. Even if I was offered the chance, I would decline.
Sure, sage status gives you a lot of benefits, but those benefits are just bullpoop.
You will not get respect because you're a sage. You people need to learn that.
I didnt. Green really isnt that great of color (at least that shade of it)
Not when i first joined, at some point I did though.
sort of, but the only reason I ever wanted to be a sage was to have a semi-normal size sig.
When I FIRST joined, I didn't.
I was mianly so occupied with the Power on (RP) boards that I never realy saw nor cared what a Sage was. Then, for a short time, during my time in the pokemon boards, I saw a sage, found out that you could become one. I wanted to be one, until I found out that it wasn't as great as it's cracked up to be.
So for, maybe a weeek, I wanted to be a sage xD

I can definitely agree with that. If by the time you're saged you're not respected, chances are the only ones who will respect you are the suck-ups on the site. I was well respected far before I was saged.
Yeah, and then after about a few posts I stopped caring :P
Of course, I should have been a Sage also.
yeah, but I soon realized that after the Pickle Army thing I'd never get it ;D

You're so modest.
Thank god you never got it.
at first yes, then i got a warning, which you arent supposed to get if ur headed to "sage road" then i got perma bant. as of then i sed screw it, then i made DIMENTIO1, then i got a 1week ban, then i made an alt, LOCK_AND_LOAD and actually, i was rly helpful: made helpful posts, made 2 Guides, never spammed, even SONARIO thot i was good enough to be a sage :p
When I first joined? I didn't know it even existed until I met DNMN on the Zelda board. I thought it was a cool rank, but I never went out of my way to try to get it. Too busy having fun talking about Link. :P
At first, no. I didn't really want to be Sage until people started telling me I should be one. Then it went to my head. But I think I was a pretty good one.

What the hell does that mean? Say something.
At some point I actually did want to have that triforce appear beside my name, but now I have urges to murder most of the sages.
Sage technically wasn't around when I first joined. :(
After the introduction of the program, it seemed like a cool thing to achieve -- I mean, really, they were offering beta testing for crying out loud -- but I never really went out of my way to get it. Most of my friends from HTS had gotten the rank, and I had learned it wasn't that great, so I just went along having fun at the forums.
In a word, no.
I did like most people.
Yeah, I did. But after a while I realized I wouldn't be able to. :P
Not me. I didn't want to be anything about a Sage, until I figured out that Nintendo actually listens to them! I don't mind typing a lot; I type at almost 60 words a minute.

wow, same for me
Well, when I first heard about it, I did. I didn't understand the requirements though so I just thought posting a lot, good grammar and thought or not, would be good enough. :P
Soon, I learned and became pretty determined. I would stay online for hours only making two or three posts. After about four months I decided to become a normal user.
Then, around late August of this year I came obsessed. I only posted in Newcomer or in worthwhile threads. I was always online...
Not a week before NSider closed I was back to normal, thank God. :P

Yeah, it really got boring refreshing the page over and over waiting for a new topic on the help boards.
Even after I stopped trying for Sage I still posted in Newcomer . I don't really know why. I guess becuase the race of trying to get first post never got old...
When I joined Nsider I was a noob with forums and I didn't know what a Sage was. The Sages boards when I saw them I was like: Whatever. I never looked at them. But when I finally knew what a Sage was I did. But I really didn't try to be one. It was just too hard.
I didn't know what it was when I first joined, so no.

DON'T WORRY SIR, YOU'RE CLEAN
YOU'RE NOT AN IDIOT LIKE 1L AND COMPUTERS
Yes, until a minute later when I realized you had to do stuff to become one.
I always thought of it as a little cool thing that you got. I'd accept if I was offered, but then again, the NOA's would be insane to pick me >_>
No,no,hell no...
I did, until I came to the realization that the only reason Sages existed was to take poop for the MODs.
I wanted to at first, and then when I finally realized that posting to try to get to Sage was boring, I stopped.
For my first week, I did.
Then I quit caring for a few years, and then I wanted to be a Sage again.
And then I quit caring again.
