Gopher is a really fun (and constrained) protocol. I’ve experimented a bit with interactive gopher servers in the past. A cool thing is that you can build a server in an afternoon starting with nothing more than your favorite programming language, some TCP server docs, and the wikipedia page. I’d love to see people build some gopher sites to do stupid and crazy things. Interactive fiction over gopher? Sure! SQL to gopher gateway with ascii viz? Awesome! Everyone should have a gopher hole... probably firewalled off of any production networks.
