That’s ok. A bastion of nostalgia that seemingly hadn’t been updated in literal decades, or at least the top submissions hadn’t. I was using the internet in the 90s when Bash.org was created, and appreciated the humor a lot, and laughed very hard many times at the same jokes for years.

However, (very unpopular opinion) after decades of people repeating the exact same jokes from Bash.org, the formerly nostalgia inducing jokes started grating on me a lot. The password *** hunter2 joke has made me cringe at its extreme overuse for at least ten years, or the computer responding to ping but being physically unfindable. If they weren’t going to do anything with the site, it would have been better to kill it in 2010 with fond memories rather than let the jokes be beaten like a dead horse for 20 years.
