maybe my definition of popularity is different than yours. i don't wanted to say that there's something wrong with gopher or people still using gopher or writing gopher software.

but be realistic, gopherspace will never again be a popular alternative to the html-www. but i doubt that this is the whole point about still using gopher. there are only a few people using gopher nowadays and i believe this will not change in the future. but i don't see any problem with this, as long as there is a small enthusiastic community keeping gopher alive.
