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.
Yeah, seconded. I saw a decent chunk of things in person like I saw on bash.org. People were silly and/or dumb long before friendster, myspace, facebook, etc. and did plenty of shitposting (and just general cringe-y teenage obnoxiousness) on IRC and the like.
Shitposting is a tradition literally as old as the internet
It’s older than that, really, but before message boards it was just pranking, so honestly I’m glad for people to have the emotional outlet this way instead
It was also stall graffiti
a true art form
4chan isn’t new,
No not at all.
Don’t believe me?
Read a bathroom stall.

It’s nice here that so many have their proper name. I couldn’t get “psud” on Reddit, I have it on three instances here :)
If there are people here who have known me on any of the old internet they might recognise me
