gopher

gopher is a pre-web, text-only technology that uses a directory structure to navigate documents instead of hyperlinks. tilde.town's server can be found at gopher://tilde.town:70, and you can make your own gopherhole by creating public_gopher in your home directory. you'll need a gopher-compatible browser (try lynx gopher://tilde.town:70) to view gopher pages.
