I think quite a few people are with you on this, maybe what we need to do is work together and all link to each other.
If we perhaps also set up a gopher, we could link those together too, that way if anyone tries to say 'no one uses it' the number of interlinked gopher servers tell a different story.
@zleap @cmccullough I have no inkling of a conceptual hypothesis for what a "gopher" is in this context, but I do have a blog. 😁

Before the web was around there was a protocol for searching other computers called gopher.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopher_(protocol) in 1993 gopher was probably bigger than the web, in 1997 it was a tiny fraction of the size of the web. Netscape Navigator was a web browser but it also had gopher and ftp capabilities.
