On: Tell HN: Bash.org is no more

[throwaway_08932]

A few years ago, I read all of bash.org from beginning to end. It took about a week of transit rides.

There were a lot of laughs, but a huge proportion of it was slurs directed at Black people and women. It's probably time for it to fade away.

The quotes I remember the most were (paraphrased)

1. Best ebay review ever -- bought item for my brother who had cancer, item never arrived and my brother died

2. Something about writing a warranty about installing a cinder block in a window and then throwing it through a window at the Sony headquarters

3. "There's no such thing as a sin on the battlefield." "Opposite over hypotenuse. dipshit"

Once upon a time I eagerly showed a promising newbie the top page, and they said exactly the same thing. Felt bad.
