So now players of the game can seamlessly chat about gopher with people in the #gopherproject IRC channel.  Now you can seamlessly chat gopher while beta testing.  I will soon add gopher mailing list integration so that you can read through and reply back to messages on this list.

This  new presence made me recognize the game. It’s all web‐centric now.
When I ask »HackersEdge« for »help« it doesn’t give me any info  how  to
connect via telnet or gopher or http.

And one big flaw: I can’t register via telnet or ssh. Why am I forced to
use such an inferior protocol like HTTP?
