Do you know about GopherVR?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GopherVR

I used #gopher back in the 1990s.

But there has been a gopher revival going on

I.e., gopher is used today!

I wonder how many in the new Gopher community are aware of #gopherVR ?

The new gopher community should be open to creating new line-type codes.

That is part of how the #gopherProtocol was future-proofed.

Creating new line-type codes is using gopher as intended by the specification writer(s).

An excerpt from #IETF #RFC1436
( https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1436 )

“[…] This removes the need to be able to anticipate all future needs and hard-wire them in the basic Internet Gopher protocol; it keeps the basic protocol extremely simple. In spite of this simplicity, the scheme has the capability to expand and change with the times by adding an agreed upon type-character for a new service.”
