Oh man, that is so sad to hear. bash.org has given me endless laughs. It always cheered me up. Its too bad the the top 100/200 hadn't changed in years. I guess that's because IRC has been mostly dead for a while now (no more new submission) and that the voting algorithm favored a self-feeding feedback loop. Nonetheless, it was fun to come back once every few years and re-read the top quotes. Hopefully someone revives the site. Hopefully it's just that the server needs some love or something. Do we have any idea who is behind it?

> Its too bad the the top 100/200 hadn't changed in years. I checked it every couple years or so when I remembered some part of some top quote and wanted to get the full thing. I always saw the top quotes never changed, so I just assumed the entire site wasn’t really updated.

  you are living in an alternate reality if you don't agree with the fact IRC is mostly dead. no enterprise is using i seriously, chat platforms of course don't use it, and niche/hobbyists have long since moved to discord and reddit. Of course there's holdouts, but I think it's fair to say 90 percent of IRC type chat hosts are dead/gone.
