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.

IRC was so much better than Discord. People are stupid.

Better how? I can't message people when they're offline, everything is completely boring text, no images, it's not clear how I can easily setup my own server, everything feels archaic.

I tried using it before Discord was even a thing, and I already thought it quite sucked. If you think it's great, then good on you for knowing everything inside and out, but the discoverability with any IRC client tends to be in the negatives. It feels awful to use.
