There isn't a 'direct link' that opens it, or I would have posted it in the first place. It's also not a forum, it's a Usenet newsgroup which is essentially a different medium entirely. It was web accessible at one stage via DejaNews/Google Groups, but I believe that is no longer the case. I don't use Usenet myself, and so don't know off the top of my head if there are any currently working web interfaces for it. Nor do I know whether A.S.H is even still current or even useful even when accessed via dedicated newsgroup software. Overall, Usenet does tend to have a lot of problems with spam crowding out any legitimate posts.

If you don't know what newsgroups are, odds are you probably don't need to visit A.S.H, and can instead find most things you need here on SS, in an easier-to-follow interface and the most contemporary, up-to-date information. The few possibly useful resources from A.S.H, like their suicide methods file, are mirrored elsewhere anyway.

It's 99% trolling/spam. SS is so much better.
