What was that site with the software disaster stories?

I’m trying to remember an older, popular site where people submitted medium-length stories about programming mistakes and software failures. It had a few categories, and it wasn’t Coding Horror. Any ideas?

That sounds like The Daily WTF. It featured reader-submitted stories about programming mishaps and baffling software decisions, often grouped into categories. It is still active.

If that name doesn’t ring a bell, the Jargon File and comp.risks are other older places associated with computing oddities and risk stories. They’re less of a match for a site built around humorous, submitted programming-failure posts, though.
