But what about Veronica?
I'm pretty sure that there are some active gopher servers, and I assume that something is indexing them.

Yeah, still there. Here's a Web gateway if you don't have a gopher client.

It looks like they have "Veronica-2" running.

It seems to still be indexing and returning search results for gopherspace. Here's a search for "linux":

EDIT: It looks like SDF is running one of said active gopher servers. I've noticed them also running one of the lemmy instances.
EDIT2: I just fired up cool-retro-term and a gopher client. Brings back VT220 memories:

EDIT2: Heh, I suppose it looks a little goofy in 16:9 aspect ratio rather than 4:3.
Amazing! Thanks!
