Here's the Ashex Requirement details.

Users who have obtained Elite+ user classes are immune from having their account disabled for inactivity. Otherwise, users must log-in to the site once every 10 weeks in order to remain active. Users are eligible for one free unlock. Users who have obtained Power User status are granted a bonus free unlock. The Ashex Requirement, or 'pulling an Ashex' is the means with which one obtains a SECOND (third for Power Users) account unlock. After completing the Ashex requirement you are no longer eligible to be unlocked again.

The act is defined by dancing embarrassingly badly, filming the dance, posting it to YouTube (or appropriate video sharing site), and sharing the link with staff members of Baconbits. If the user agrees, the staff may disseminate the link to others so as to have the lulz.

And here's some background, stolen from #baconbits Now, to our story of Love, Dancing and Bacon:

<fiver22> Baconnaise: an "Ashex" awaits you in the inbox

<Ashex> I hope this doesn't turn into a meme

<fiver22> it is a bB meme

<fiver22> too late

<Pan> okay, can someone tell the story? the bB KB entry on that is lacking on the history

<refreshingapathy> Ashex: do the honors

<Ashex> Gather around children and I'll tell you the story

<Ashex> Way back when bB launched I cheerfully signed up and as a good user does leeched and seeded for weeks.

<Ashex> As time went by I logged in less and less until one day my account was locked for inactivity

<Ashex> As luck would have it many months later I grew curious again of bB and sought to log in again

<Ashex> Indeed, a most horrid day it was when I discovered that my account had been locked

<Ashex> I did not mean to abandon bB, these things just happen

<Ashex> Seeking to enter the most wonderous site that is bB I hopped on IRC and begged the admins to let me back in

<Ashex> Overjoyed I once again indulged in leeching and seeding after promising to not abandon bB

<Ashex> I spent days, weeks, months even browsing the content available through bB

<Ashex> These days were amazing and quite wonderful, grabbing whatever it is I wished, and sharing that which I found

<fiver22> did you have adventures?

<Ashex> Sadly these days too were numbered and I grew careless not appreciating this garden of eden that bB had become

<Ashex> Oh yes, adventures were had! Such amazing things I encountered during my time on bB

<Ashex> The curious creatures that resided there, the tales they would spin and weave for me

<Ashex> It was glorious!

<Ashex> But I digress

<Ashex> I did not appreciate this beautiful place, this haven of tales and stories and adventures

<Ashex> I neglected bB and over time came to visit it less and less

<Ashex> Until once again the day came when my account became locked, I felt terrible and horrible for having allowed this to happen

<fiver22> what are you? fucking stupid? you let it happen AGAIN?! You should kill yourself.

<Ashex> fiver22 at times I wish I did

<Ashex> Many nights were spent wasting away by the bottle

<Ashex> I wandered the dark tubes searching for another love that would match bB

<bandersnatch> did you find one?

<Ashex> what.cd came and went, it sang such sweet melodies but could never match the charm that bB had

<Ashex> I knew I hit the bottom when I found myself on a pirate ship scrubbing the poop deck for a washed out bard to sign me a drunken tale

<Ashex> After time I pulled myself together and returned to the pearly gates of bB begging to be let back in once more

<fiver22> this time, did they hit you?

<Ashex> The admins were cruel and harsh, cackling as they pointed to their commandments "ONE UNLOCK ONLY"

<Ashex> fiver22, they did far worse

<Ashex> I begged and pleaded trying to show I had changed, I was a different man now

<Ashex> One of their minions watched from afar, an evil glint in its eye

<fiver22> and?!

<Ashex> It crept closer and closer as the admins mocked me spurred on by their screeching laughs

<elquimico> sounds like Baconnaise

<matthatesspam> It sounds Canadian.

<Ashex> It whispered to one of them and they roared with laughter, fists pounding against their thighs in delight

<Ashex> One turned to me and raised his hand silencing the rest, in a low gravely voice his said but one word

<Ashex> "Dance"

<Ashex> I was absolutely dumbstruck not understanding the request, their minion crept towards me and pointed to a television nearby and muttered "Do the Hustle"

<Ashex> I watched the television with horror as I witnessed what it was they were telling me to do

<Ashex> A group stood and watched as a man danced

<Ashex> No, it was not even a dance. It was as though his limbs were not attached as he moved about dancing to a silent beat.

<Ashex> Swallowing my pride I conceded and slipped away, preparing to submit to the trials of the admins of bB

<Ashex> I struggled with this task, repeating it over and over again until I had found the courage to complete it. I was less of a man then ever before once it had been done

<Ashex> Shoulders slumbed I trudged back to the gate with the task completed. The admins loomed high above and bent down to look at me with their beady eyes in question.

<Ashex> I dared not look at them for fear that I would not be able to deliver their bounty, I was barely able to muster the strength to raise the hand clutching the disc.

<Ashex> Once more they roared with laughter, seeing that I had returned with the task completed. Their minion quickly appeared and snatched the disc away from me as though I was some lowly peasant

<Ashex> They all quickly turned to the television as the minion loaded the disc and watched with great interest as I performed this "Hustle"

<Ashex> Once the video had completed they played it once more, and again, and again, and again

<Ashex> I cringed with horror as I witnessed the spectle repeated endlessly

<Ashex> Finally they halted and turned back to me grinning like fools, mustering all my strength I raised my head and met their gaze. Watching them I came to realize that these were not men but monsters who could only find joy through tragedy.

<Ashex> The turned together and whispered back and forth until they nodded in agreement. One turned to me and spoke, "You may enter mortal, but heed our words for once you enter you will stay. Should you leave again you will NEVER return!"

<Ashex> I nodded in agreement, lips twitching with excitement I stepped forth to enter but one blocked my path. Looking up in confusion I saw the mischievious grin this monster wore.

<Ashex> "You may enter, but because of what you have done and how careless you became there will be a cost. For each mortal who strays from the path as you have, they will bare your burden with you so all shall remember what you have done"

<Ashex> Humbled by these words I graciously thanked the admins for what they had done that day and at long last entered bB once more.

<Ashex> I worked hard, not wasting a moment within bB and spoke to all with kindness and helped all that could

<Ashex> Within days I rose ranks until all who saw me knew who I was. I held my head high each and every day I spent there until simple users who saw me would sing their praises.
