It was a collection of silly quotes from IRC channels everywhere, many of which dated back to the 90s. It was rarely ever updated in the 2010s, but now, the URL no longer resolves.

Last capture was July 2023. https://web.archive.org/web/20230601000000*/bash.org

EDIT Someone archived all the quotes on the Internet Archive.

Amen. Guess it's the curse of the unknowing youth. They grow up with this bullcrap. I hate discord so much. "oh buy nitro, have stupid stickers!" ugh.

I really really really miss IRC. What was wrong with it? Why did it die? Did we all die?

It is alive and well, never died. Many project still use it for communication, support...

I know, there're even gopher, Finger and BBSs still around. But being around isn't really the same as alive. Except technically.
