       In 1991, the Gopher protocol was born -- a method of searching for and
       distributing information on the Internet. Gopher was intended to be
       easy to implement and use, and for a little while, it was very
       popular.
       
       Of course, HTTP and the World Wide Web launched right around that
       time, and it wasn't long before the Web was proven to be a better
       platform. Gopher has survived to this day, but the WWW reigns supreme.
       
       So, I built Gopherpedia. It runs on Gopher2000
       (https://github.com/muffinista/gopher2000), a Ruby library I wrote for
       developing Gopher services. The web proxy to Gopherpedia is GoPHPer
       (https://github.com/muffinista/gophper-proxy), which I also wrote.
