Bash.org
Bash.org is a web site that hosts a surprisingly popular database of quotes from IRC. It is a spin-off of the original QDB (quote database) on GeekIssues.org. Submitting a quote is sometimes referred to as "bashing".
Bash.org collects, stores and presents humorous (i.e. racist and homophobic) quotes garnered almost exclusively from Internet Relay Chat, although some entries from instant messaging and spoken quotations appear in the database.
Quotes are submitted to bash.org through a web form, where they are then kept for moderation. If they are deemed worthy of being in the database (that is, they make sense, they are at least slightly funny, they are not overly long, the quote number is not a prime, and the amount of rain that fell in Krasnoyarsk the previous day is less than 5 cm), the quotes are then placed on public display.
The site's ease of quote submission means that large amounts of quotes are submitted every day, and the number of approved quotes in the database (including those with negative scores) is 20,440 (as of March 10, 2008). Bash.org is immensely popular among basement dwellers, so much so that the site's maintainers intermittently send out requests for new hardware to be donated (which often occurs).
The topic of the databases quotes are largely "nerd humor," and the comedy value of the database is enhanced if the reader is computer literate. The intended audience of the QDB is people aged 16 and over. Unfortunately, this includes 16-year-old girls who browse the site and feign computer literacy with their LJ friends; quotes may contain any combination of explicit language, adult themes, sexual references and allusions to drug use. This is amply mocked by one quote, according to which you need just mention "masturbation, child pornography, racism, and Dungeons and Dragons", or say "Bash.org" and your favorite ethnic slur a lot, and the quote will get into the database.
It's a good place to redirect someone to who hasn't read quotes before and wants to know what they might be. For the rest of us, the top quotes remain the same for at least 100 years; still, they're classics. The page is just so alive as it seems in the frontpage.
In July of 2004, the original moderators of bash.org went on strike in an attempt to get the management to either develop new features or appoint an individual with that responsibility. After being fired by the bash.org management, the senior moderators moved to QDB.us.
Overall, the site provides some lulz, as the site creator is willing to emotionally destroy small children and their artwork.
