Since roughly the second week of August 2008, I've been unable to access everyone's favorite QDB website, bash.org. Has anyone else found it to be down, or does anyone know what's going on with them?
Yeah, Bash has been down for quite a while. I haven't the slightest clue as to why they're down though.
yeah, down for me.

Indeed. Someone I just spoke to spoke to a friend who's friend said they're working on getting it back up.

Ah, the old "friend of a friend of a friend said so" Wink

In the meantime there is always http://qdb.us/
By the way, another site stopped working:

Specifically, the account got suspended. How strange.
Yeah, I noticed that bash.org went down a while back. I'm surprised it still isn't up.
Aha, bash.org now has some info on its downtime. Info:

*UPDATE*
I should have been more clear before, but here are the hosting details:
Bash is too big to be on a shared server.
We have a number of machines already, but are open to either colocating them or using a supplied machine.
Bandwidth is substantial but not ridiculous, remember we have no images, almost entirely text.
A trade or agreement can be made, but we try to:
A) keep the site free and clear of advertising clutter.
B) Not have substantial upkeep, as this is a hobby run by donated time and effort.

So, in effect, we offer some links to the host for their services, but no huge blocks of ads.
Thank you to everyone that has offered services thus far, there are too many to even respond to
and we genuinely appreciate the support from this great community.

We'll be back up in a few days.
Interested in hosting us? Drop a line to "qdb-info" - AT - bash.org.

Sucks that it's still down, though, and I hope they're able to get it back up soon.
As am I... they said "a few days" but its been a little bit longer then that, lol...

Eh, good luck to them, and I hope they get it up soon! Smile
Bash.org is back up Smile
Took them almost two months, but they're back.

Hurray! The only clue that they've given is this:

We're back, thanks to Idologic, more details to follow.
I guess we'll learn more soon, then, but it's great to have them back once more. Hooray for efficient procrastination!

I know right? I'm very curious as to why they were down for so long...

Guess we'll find out soon.

Thank God its back though, lol, I was beginning to run out of things to entertain myself when there wasn't anything else to do.

Are you kidding? It's one of my primary forms of entertainment when I have lots of other important stuff to do.
Meh, http://www.xkcdb.com/ is better anyway Wink

False, I was looking through some of those and they're far inferior to the contents of bash.org.

Lies. XKCDB dominates Bash.org. Its not even close. Bash has a few gems here and there, XKCDB is full of awesomeness. You probably just don't get the references, and the intellectual humor is above you Razz
