So I recently learned that the Gohpernet is still a thing. I thought this faded out of existence when I was a kid.
How do you access these sites? Do you install old Netscape or something?
How would one go about making a gopher website? Could you host it from a basic (non-VPS) hosting site?

>How do you access these sites?
Gopher protocol is really easy, so if you don't have working client you can just telnet into server.
I use lynx.
If you want some real GUI, install overbiteFF (firefox addon) or connect through some proxy.
