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.

ICQ was nice. It had an IM, a user directory, and alternative clients without games etc, until its owners went crazy.

Old Skype was nice. It had fast file transfers, a good Linux client, network efficiency etc, until Microsoft.

I think everybody thought that just like from proprietary ICQ everybody went to proprietary Skype and it was nice, there's going to be an equally good alternative when Skype rots and people will move to it.

There are fscking none among the popular IMs.

ICQ ... when you haven't logged in for a bit and then when you do your computer emits a fast-paced streak of uh-ohuh-ohuh-ohuh-ohuh-ohuh-ohuh-ohuh-oh
