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.

The Internet Archive has special status that gives it protections. What might kill it is the erosion of support for public libraries and such. The advancement of media companies' attempt to have absolute control over everything they release, by binding it into their own services.

I don't know that it has protections from people uploading Disney movies to it.

First example on a quick search: https://archive.org/details/LionKing1.5DisneyChannel

I really love the Internet Archive and have relied on it many times, but this is going to kill it and I'm just watching it happen in real time with nothing being done.
