I used to check it when it was active and they were adding things to the Top 100-200 quotes, and now I check it for nostalgia. Still makes me laugh all these years later.
<AzureDiamond> wait, how do you know my pw?
<Cthon98> er, I just copy pasted YOUR ******'s and it appears to YOU as hunter2 cause its your pw
<AzureDiamond> oh, ok.
The joke was that if you typed your password into chat, then chat would add ***** for everyone else but still show you your own password.
So for instance if I type my password out ******** it will show as just *s to you because it’s auto censored by the system since it’s my password. But it wont censor it for me since it knows that I already know my own password. You can test it by typing out your password. You’ll see your own password but everyone else will just see *'s
I’d be inclined to agree… But I’ve had conversations like these, if not publicly.
This one about not being able to find a machine (http://bash.org/?5273) is relatable if you’ve ever had to trace cable in a rat’s nest of a server closet.
Good old bash.org vibes.
Never seen that website before but lost myself reading random pastas there for a while.
Thanks!

Nailed it
huh?
I’m guessing that link is still blue for you
I’m very confused by the site, is it just people posting fake conversations?
These are old IRC chats, a kind of Hall of Shame for public conversations… before social media really perfected the art.
Pretty sure it was supposed to be funny chatroom logs?

99% of entries there are faked.
They make me laugh though.
No… That’s not true. That’s impossible!
