So...anyone still using Gopher?I still use gopher. I even operate a gopher hole at
It still exists, despite the web. I use it at times...there are distilled-to-text feeds from news sites (eat THAT, RSS). And it still provi decent access to old file archives...was looking for some old Amiga stuff an found it quite easily.
I wish more people would use it. Long live text!

So...anyone still using Gopher?
It can be fun to look though some of the sites. I haven't used it in a whil though.
One thing I thought was cool was gopherpedia.com. You can acess wikipedia f it, but using the gopher protocol. There is also a telnet version of this, I found this far more pleasent to use.

I use it regularlly. There is a lot of PHLOGS that I read (blogs in gopherspace) which are hosted usually on SDF or someone's site.
There's also gopherfs a fuse filesystem simular to sshfs or webfs that allow one to mount a remote gopher server as a local filesystem. This one is great since it gives me the chance to mount several Phlogs under my BBS's file folder and able to access gopher from the machines at the Interactive Computer Museum in Dallas makerspace or quick scanning using standard unix tools.

Yes gopherpedia is my goto nowdays.
I spoke to the guy who scripted it and he said it takes very little code and generates the pages on the fly after it's fetched from pedia.
Did you discover gophereddit yet?

it's on asd.org's gopher, in the new servers listing..generates the pages on the fly after it's fetched from pedia.

I have never heard of that before. However, I welcome any attempt to expand Gopher's usefullness. Gopher would be a nice way to look at a news site without all the ads, some of which appear as part of the article. I'm sure they would just find another way to put those in though.
Now I'm going to have to do a search on gophereddit. ;)

Thank, I was able to locate it. This makes me want to download Netscape
4 to use as a gopher client agian. I actually have a gopher client on
Luckilly, one does not have to use netscape these days. floodgap has a http gateway and surprise; lynx, w3m, and links supports gopher still. links is actually my choice one since it supports images, html5/css and generally a decent bit of javascript.

I'm also familior with the floodgap system. It would have been interesting to try out GopherVR, although I think that would have been more of a novelty than anything.
