Re: [gopher] Gopher-Project Digest, Vol 70, Issue 10



I took the time to thank the Metafilter devs for bringing their gopher site back, and encourage them to develop it.  I'd never heard of the site before.  It looks like a welcome contribution to gopherspace.

More thanks can be tendered via:

It hit HackerNews [1] today, so I was able to gather some info.  From
Metafilter]s own page [2] there are some really funny FAQs.  Simple
answer is: it wasn't hard to do and they had the RAM/resources, so why
the hell not?  Sweet answer.

Above all, check out the conversation on Hacker News that ensued. [3]
Lots of sweet nostalgia for gopher, and just a little bit for Usenet too.
