It was down for a couple of months already. However, the IP and server seems to be there. Maybe the person who keeps that up will restart the daemons when they remember they operate one of the nostalgia cornerstones of better part of the internet. Maybe the server's password is hunter2. Let's see whether can I access it. Edit: Nope. Seems firewalled.
i'm going to become rich and famous after i invent a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet We aren't encouraged to have this kind of fun on public forums anymore. I don't know why exactly, but I do know we're not better off for dropping this humor.
One of my all time favorite sites on the interenet, I am glad there is an archive version. IRC and being ASCII only had their benefits. These days, Discord displacing IRC, for most people who even have PCs, there is a much different vibe of re-posting meme pics and gifs, or even youtube videos. Yet, I don't know if this is because of the higher production requirements, or not, but there isn't a database of spontaneou…
Ironically, many of the "respectable" discord servers (i.e. revolving around hobbies people under the age of 18 aren't/can't get into) seem to not allow cross-server emojis (which mostly stops all usage of them and discourages gif-memeing as well). Combined with "compact" mode in user settings, I find myself having a vaguely IRC-like experience in the servers worth participating in. Terrible shame how many of us have…
Often times I wonder why basically _everything_ must be on the Web, and if all that historical baggage and complexity is really necessary, or even worth it at all.

Even if it's a static HTML, you need to patch your webserver, OS, and migrate the whole stack to newer versions. This is why I'm scaling down my home infrastructure to SBCs and run everything on Debian with stock package repositories. It reduces tons of burden to something very manageable.
Non-sysadmin here. For static HTML, why is server patching/OS needed if things are locked down?

Wrong bash. Bash.org didn't have anything to do with the shell, it was a database of funny IRC quotes.
I tried going to the website, but well it's no more. Guess I'll be taking my downvotes and flagging now for being an idiot.

It's more than money, they still require care and feeding. At some age (and I'm getting to that), you just tire of being a sysadm, esp. for "home"/hobby stuff.

Nah. That's bull. A static site can be put on a web server and the site never needs to be updated again. I have web sites people started hosting on my servers in the '90s that are still there, still serving, and haven't been touched in twenty years.
Sure, I update the servers and software, but the actual amount of work needed for the site is, quite literally, zero.
