Bash.org, hosting for the poor?
It seems that bash.org, one of the most popular chat quote sites, are having hosting problems again. Indeed for the last few days the site has been down and since then the creators have posted the following message:
We’ll be back up in a few days.
Interested in hosting us? Drop a line to “qdb-info” – AT – bash.org.
Notorious for the sheer number of quotes in their database (over 18,000 approved), bash has regularly suffered from downtime and slow loading pages (perhaps because GoDaddy are hosting them?).
The concept of bash.org has since been adapted and improved. For example tasticulo.us approves all quotes and allows users to post comments on entries and bash.org.ru is a russian database of quotes.
These sites seem to be catching on, and more people are moving away from bash.org. That said, it still has it loyal fans, but I wonder for how long?

bashfr.org is a french database of quotes, I thought it’d be nice to be mentionned.
Too bar for bash.org, I really enjoy surfing there. There may be a lot of other sites like bash.org but they got it first.
