[http://www.bash.org/ Bash.org] is a site where people submit quotes from chat rooms (IRC, AIM, MSN, etc.) It is moderated, which theoretically helps keep the quality up and the spamming down, and has buttons to vote quotes up or down, thus giving a rough measure of how quality a quote is. It has spawned [[Follow the Leader|a number of imitators]].

Bash.org is a site where people submit quotes from chat rooms (IRC, AIM, MSN, etc.) It is moderated, which theoretically helps keep the quality up and the spamming down, and has buttons to vote quotes up or down, thus giving a rough measure of how quality a quote is. It has spawned a number of imitators.

Since chat rooms tend to be a microcosm of real life, bash.org exhibits a number of tropes. However, as there are over 20,000 quotes on the site, we cannot exhibit them all, so please pick the ones that best exemplify the trope in question.

Tropes used in Bash.org include:
