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.
It vanished 7 years ago and came back. It’s possible they forgot to renew.

Domains seldom expire on the new year, they are typically registered for a number of years with the proof starting on the day you register
So register today, it expires yesterday + 10 years
Registry Expiry Date: 2025-03-08T05:00:00Z
They went down in August too. Maybe they just need better help keeping things running
