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.

Exactly, you needed an account to ask and to view some download links, but google never took me to a forum that needed an account just to read my issue.

Duh, because Google wouldn't index forums where you need an account to read the posts. I've been signed up to dozens of forums back in the day, I'm telling you, a lot of them didn't show shit until you signed in. Google only shows you public posts, if the game forum needs an account you won't find the post in your search.

Most forums back then were heavily locked down, especially due to bots spamming ads.
