Ok, someone's developing a Gopher client for Mystic. Does anyone want to
take up the challenge and create one for Synchronet?

I liked running Gopher on my BBS, but clients became harder and harder to find. I'd love to have a gopherspace door/client on my BBS, think it would
fit into the general BBS scene nicely.

I've been using the internet since 1995, and I've never even used Gopher..

Gopher, Archie, Veronica - they were the tools of the internet up until the web took over. Archie was a list of files on Gopher sites, and Veronica was
a list of the menus, so you could search across all of gopherspace. Coming from a BBS and shell account background, it was like a text-based web.

I used to use Gopher heaps in 1994 - 96, then I switched to web based search engines.

Yes, and you could search with Veronica, then jump from gopher to gopher in ways not too dissimilar to the web, but menu based, rather than hyperlinked. I remember experiencing hyperlinks on the web for the first time (using Lynx), after much experience with Veronica and Gopher and thinking "This is really cool". :)

Didn't Synchronet have gopher on it years ago? I remember the name.
