You have a great tool and I use it routinely.
My other favorite is gopherpedia.

Thank you!
I've implemented it last year in early March, exactly one year ago and
just let it running, not expecting much traffic. However, the other day
I checked the server and I'm getting something like 250 to 650 selector
hits per day, with around 30 unique daily visitors. I was positively surprised and I might even move it to a better server if needed.
Gopherpedia and HNGopher are among my favourites as well. In fact,
HNGopher inspired me to create Gopherddit.

Thank you. It gets an insane amount of traffic, to the point I'm
pondering renewing the domain.

the information from interesting threads while avoiding the
upvote/downvote culture.
Yeah, I feel the same. I do find that Reddit could be a spiritual
successor to Usenet, but without that and the toxicity of many subs.

Reddit is a moderated beast, where subs often rely on the availability
and good will of one or a few persons. Besides, reddit is a commercial, by-design centralized entity. I fail to see any amount of "usenet
spirit" there.

Yes, moderation and general behaviour is what I meant with toxicity. On
that regard is has zero resemblance.
However, if you think conceptually and ignoring the obvious technical differences, there is some communality:
- Categorisation of different interests into separate areas
- Centralised way to access different forums (from a user perspective)
- Subscription of individual forums of interest
- Threaded discussions
- Where most people are discussing in this way (used to be Usenet)

So you weren't going to renew the domain before?
Initially I thought it would get very little traffic. I was positively surprised with the popularity it got and that made me decide to keep the server up and running, as well as maintaining the code.
I'm still unsure about the domain though. It expires in about one month
and the renewing cost is about $20 at NameCheap. Not that it's a lot of money, but at the same time, I think I should've gone for other TLD, to
have cheaper prices.
So right now I'm still considering whether to renew the domain or go
back to gopherddit.tk. The hole will remain online for sure though.

Make sure to post here if do you change the domain name!

If you don't end up renewing the name, there are a lot of subdomain choices on
freedns.afraid.org, or if you like I can set you up a subdomain on gopher.is (I intend on
keeping this domain alive for some time).

I'll gladly throw $5 into the mix if you give me your paypal email. To
me it's worth it.
Good news!
I've just renewed gopherddit.com for a cheaper price. Gopherddit will
keep its .com domain. :)
By the way, I did not renew my personal domain, which was gluon.me. You
can see the new one down below on my signature.

I was wondering recently why it disappeared, it had a very specific
name, easy to remember. For next time: it would be cool if you could
simply leave some link on the old site with a note like "will disappear
soon, moved to newname.org" - that would be super helpful not only to
humans, but also to the indexing bots that spider the gopherspace. :)
Yes, I agree. I didn't do it because I was myself totally unaware
about the expiration until too late.
By the way, do you know the proper process to update it in bitreich's gopher-lawn listing?
but my interest is limited to OGUP these days.

However, I've already renewed the domain. Ended up costing $12 instead
of $20 after all. I agree, it's quite a nice domain for a cool tool, so
it's well worth keeping it.
Next year, if it gets much more expensive, I'll accept the donation and
maybe create some Paypal link to let anyone contribute.
