It's got to be 10 years old now, right?
gopherspace was wonderful, a brilliant use of the internet
besides email. Too bad for gopher that http was better.
I long ago took down my gopher server, and it seems it's largely
disappeared from the net, even wiretap.spies.com appears empty
in my browser (firefox) which tries to render it as html!
Besides a few flat-earthers ("Bring Back Gopher!") it's largely
disappeared.
Anyone on this list still run one? What's the best client to use?
Here's a good quick ref on it:
