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.
Usenet isn’t a centralized thing though… This is just Google groups stopping Usenet support. Plenty of newsgroup providers.
Can confirm, long live the Usenet.
Any good replacements for Google groups?
