In reply to bbslovag. John Cleese? I'm out at a bar at the moment I'll have to investigate later

In reply to Matt Owen / Jaruzel. Ah that makes sense. I was pretty surprised to see myself on there. It's be interesting to see if gopher space is collapsing or rising. Its almost become a dark web of its own by now.

Hey there! Many thanks for the kind words about my Gopher Client and my Gopher maps. To clear things up – the larger the ‘blob’ your site has is based on how many selectors you have, and therefore in theory more content.

I should really do an updated map for 2020.

Cheers once again !

Yeah I have to fix it…. I’ve been trying to recover the vmware image but I’ll just have to use an old backup.

Or rebuild

OS/2 2.00 is crazy old.

Man, your Gopher node is up, and that’s great!

But your BBS is down! I’ve tried to telnet to bbs.superglobalmegacorp.com a couple of times, with no luck. I was expecting to see some shiny ASCII art, and my hopes were deceived…

P. S. It looks like OverbiteFF gopher extension to SeaMonkey doesn’t allow outbound connections to non-gopher ports (e. g.: 9999).

RetroZilla looks really cool. Looks like there are SeaMonkey binaries, but if you want Firefox, you get to build it yourself. Fortunately Firefox 2 is kind of straightforward to build with Visual C++ 6.

In terms of your gopher popularity, here’s some numbers:

In reply to Roy. Strange it doesn't render on many clients. I guess the non standard port doesn't help at all. On the otherhand I just found out about RetroZilla, so that's great! Thanks!

There are some pleroma instance (an ActivityPub federated microblog) that has gopher service enabled, for example, gopher://miniwa.moe:9999/
