People familiar with modern BBSing will know of the recent upgraded MRC 
service. Stackfault did an immense coding sprint over the last few weeks to 
squash bugs and enhance stability - (many low sleep nights - he had fun).

The newest added feature is a gopher room. Simply '/join gopherspace' and 
all commands are preceded with '.' (ie .help or .dir). As of the writing of 
this post, there are 175 systems connected to the MRC infrastructure. While 
this is only a small percent of running bbs systems, it won't be hard to 
find one. A good start would be https://telnetbbsguide.com or connect to 
mine to get started. I considered attaching a log dump of the list to this 
email but I'm not sure how kindly yall would take that.

Hope to see some of you in MRC chat enjoying gophersurf.
